3/ On Feb 19, 2007, Buddy was part of a team of US and Afghan troops at COP Keating searching for a kidnapped local teenager.
-
4/Buddy had recently described to his grandmother how well he worked with the Afghan troops. They were a great team, he told her.
-
5/ The boy was found, but Buddy and his team of ANA troops were caught in an enemy ambush from a ridge. The insurgents had a new marksman.
-
6/ The enemy marksman shot Adel, an Afghan National Army soldier. Buddy was a medic. He ran to Adel to administer First Aid. A shot rang out
-
7/ LT Vic Johnson ran to Buddy. An RPG went off in front of him; shrapnel hit Johnson's helmet, but he kept moving to Buddy.
-
8/ By the time he reached Buddy, the young man was gone. Johnson couldn't find the wound, it was hidden under Buddy's body armor somewhere.
-
9/ Johnson then saw Adel, who'd been hit in the chest. Johnson tried to radio for a medic. No one responded. He ran back to the trucks.
