Memories For This Unit

Best Friends
I served in a company of heroes.

Brazzle, Durrante, McCalister, Krueger.

Best Moment
FOS Carlson and a year later FOB O-E. What fantastic Soldiers I had.

   

Worst Moment
The big ambush near Zerok. Nine of my Soldiers were wounded that day. Some pretty badly.

Other Memories
