One year Anniversary of Wanat

You’ve probably heard the story of the battle of Wanat in Afghanistan which happened a year ago this morning. A platoon of US paratroopers held off successfully over two hundred Taliban. Nine Americans lost their lives and Tankerbabe tells you their stories along with some photos of the time she spent with some of the survivors this past weekend.

Uncle Jimbo provides links to some of the excellent posts at Blackfive on the subject.

At the Castle ARGGHHH! the late CPL Jonathon Ayers is honored as the Soldier of the Week.

Everyday I’m in awe of all of the folks who stand between us and them.
