No name given. Probably for security reasons.

But DAMN.

 

 

 

Marines’ heroic actions at Shewan leave more than 50 insurgents dead, several wounded.

During the battle, the designated marksman single handedly thwarted a company-sized enemy RPG and machinegun ambush by reportedly killing 20 enemy fighters with his devastatingly accurate precision fire. He selflessly exposed himself time and again to intense enemy fire during a critical point in the eight-hour battle for Shewan in order to kill any enemy combatants who attempted to engage or maneuver on the Marines in the kill zone. What made his actions even more impressive was the fact that he didn’t miss any shots, despite the enemies’ rounds impacting within a foot of his fighting position.

May God bless him with safety. And might I add, what a contrary follow-up to your previous post. :)

Yes, the comparison/contrast to the previous post is dizzying :) Godspeed, Chaplain Galen. May his tribe increase. Incidentally, one of the best books I read last year was 'A Table in the Presence' by Lt. Carey Cash a chaplain with the 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment during the initial invasion of Iraq back in 2003. I highly recommend it as a compelling read.

damn, that is some steel concentration! I don't know how many of us have had rounds impacting areas around us ( i was safely below a berm, with the rounds whizzing a few feet over my head into the targets. Yay, Borden!) but even knowing your safe, it's un-nerving. I admire that marksman. In awe, even.

Just read that in the paper this morning. Good stuff. We are all human with our own strengths and weakensses, I just don't understand the front line thing. If you wanna serve, serve. Prime example right there, she served her duty to the T.
