Shortly before I left, I found out that volunteers could watch surgeries. This is me preparing to go watch the docs work on a trauma patient. The soldier had been hit by an IED but had mostly shrapnel wounds and a couple of moderately serious wounds that he would definitely survive.
This was on one of the t-walls at the entrance to the hospital. I always got a kick out of the BADASS surgeons.
The first patient I helped offload from a helicopter was a Marine colonel who'd been shot in the head. This is the last guy I helped offload, a soldier whose vehicle had been hit by an IED.
Here I am with friend Bruno in my office in Iraq on one of my last days there.
This is teammate Donna and I as we were preparing to board the C-130 to leave Balad.

you have given your friends a great idea of what it is like in a war zone, or at least on the fringes of a war zone
thank you
