For those of you who don't know, my son has been in Iraq since this past May. He was recently wounded (2nd time) when his vehicle was hit by an IED. He has returned to his unit, but he is at a desk right now. He has started to get some hearing back so they will wait for the surgery until they know, for sure that he needs it. If they have to do the surgery, he will be reclassified as a non-combatant, which will tear him up.
Anyway, the TV show 60 Minutes did a report on the job they, Charlie Company, did while they were in Sadr City.
I've watched it numerous times and still about makes my eyes water!
I asked Marc if I could post this and he okayed it. So I'm not here to start an arguement, debate, etc., I just wanted to share a good report and to update you on his status!
BTW, they show a short scene of a fairly intense firefight. My son was the main gunner (20mm) in the MRAP at that time. I have a video he sent me from his vehicle! So here is the link. Thanks for your support.
