“I realized that we might all die today, but this little girl will not,” he said, talking about how he put the child in his up-armored vehicle. “We had some sporadic small arms fire after that, but we had broken their back. They wanted us to stop there.

“I later found out that the women lived, and the little girl,” he said with a smile, “was still afraid of U.S. forces, but she was really small... maybe one. She didn’t understand; (she) just knew that someone had grabbed her from her mom and dad. She didn’t know that it was for her own protection. I hope that one day, her parents tell her what happened that day.”


He's a stud!
