Looking for the medic who saved him
Parachute Cutie tells us that SPC Chris Levy, a Ranger who lost both of his legs in a roadside bombing four years ago is trying to locate the medic who triaged him that day. You guys are so good at finding stuff, I figured I’d make your project today. Whoever finds the medic gets an especially rude Ranger Up T-shirt of your own choosing.
Your only clues to find the medic;
“Army Ranger SPC Chris Levi is looking to connect with a Medic named Gonzalez who triaged him on 17 March 2008 when he was gravely injured in exercise outside Sadr City Iraq (lost both legs). Location he was at was 4,5 and 6th RTB. Injured 17 March 2008. Injured outside FOB LOYALTY. Chris is from Holbrook NY. Google his name-lots of press. Can you help me spread this request?”
Here is a story about Levy when his wheelchair came up missing – it has since been recovered.

Thank you for posting this, Jonn. I sure hope one of your super sleuths has a clue or two to help.
I have no idea where you start with this kind of thing.
Come on, you guys, help out this lady and this vet.
Well I know for sure it was fourth brigade 10th MTN that had FOB Loyalty because my BCT took over for them soon after. So finding someone from 10th Mountain would be your first step and then it would just require them to look over their deployment order (with roster).
I wish I could I have seen this posted elsewhere and I got nothing.
I was a medic at Loyalty with 4/10 Mtn during this incident. While I don’t remember this specific case we were treating majorly wounded people everyday.
If I could get a bit more detail I could probably figure out who this was. However I don’t recall any 75th Ranger Regiment guys coming through Loyalty during this time period. Are we sure he was with 75th and not just ranger qualified?
