Iraq War
Actions in Iraq
In a firefight with insurgents in a house in Fallujah, although wounded by seven 7.62×39mm rounds and hit by more than 43 pieces of hot fragmentation from a grenade while using his body to shield an injured fellow Marine, First Sergeant Kasal refused to quit fighting and was able to return fire with a handgun, killing at least one insurgent. Kasal is credited with saving the lives of several Marines during the U.S. assault on insurgent strongholds in Fallujah in November 2004.
By the time he was carried out of the house by LCpl Chris Marquez and LCpl Dan Shaffer, then-First Sergeant Kasal had lost approximately 60 percent of his blood. The photograph of Kasal, taken by photographer Lucian Read — blood-soaked and still holding his M9 pistol and KA-Bar fighting knife — being helped from the building by fellow Marines, has become one of the iconic pictures of the war.

Doin’ MAN stuff. Ohh Rahhh!
I thank God this brave Marine hero got to serve and retire under President Trump who honors and loves our military unlike the two national disgraces Bill Clinton and Barry Zero Obama!!
Clinton and Obama are, in my opinion, not worthy of touching our troops boots. In fact, IMO, Obama and Clinton aren’t worthy of licking the bottoms of our troops boots after the troops walk the streets of Afganistan or Iraq.
