Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - EOD guy get Silver Star
Posted: 6/14/2014 12:59:35 PM EDT
A fellow brother gets awarded the Silver Star.


After the soldiers called for the occupants to surrender, an Afghan woman walked out of the compound and detonated
a suicide-bomb vest. It killed her and wounded several soldiers. The reverberation set off another nearby bomb.
Rushing forward to help the wounded, two soldiers tripped a third bomb.


By the time Spc. Samuel Crockett stepped on the buried explosive,
he had spent more than an hour painstakingly searching for IEDs on a
Kandahar province field darkened by night

My friend Cody Patterson was one of the Rangers killed that night. It's interesting to get more and more details about what happened that night. This guy sounds like he deserves it, and I'm glad he made it back safe.

I remember reading about the nurse that was killed awhile back.



ICU nurse IIRC at Madigan that deployed with door kickers to search and/or treat female locals.




Brave EOD guy.

I think she was in a CST billet.  I was in RC East when that happened.
