Soldier breathes life into Iraqi child

MOSUL, IRAQ - Security forces from Task Force Freedom conducted a miraculous act on a young Iraqi boy in Mosul December 15. Soldiers were patrolling a neighborhood near a home where an Iraqi man was seen holding a lifeless baby who had drowned in the flooded basement of their home. The child had a blue tone to his body as a medic, SPC Lucas Crowe, from 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment administered aid to the 3-year old boy. The child became responsive, released water from his mouth and screamed a cry that Soldiers were elated to hear. After resuscitating the young boy, the combat medic from 2-1 Infantry turned the child on his side and monitored his breathing until an ambulance arrived.

Multi-National Forces of Task Force Freedom continue efforts to aid Iraqi citizens and assist them in providing security.

Yeah, the NYT loves our soldiers when they're part of a body count to use against the President, but not when they're alive doing anything good.

Simpre Primus!!! (Latin for Always First!)

That is the motto of 2/1 Infantry...many years ago I was the medical platoon leader (2LT, Medical Service Corps, US Army) of 2/1 Infantry.

Glad to see/hear the traditions of 2/1 are alive and well. My prayers and thanks to our young hero's of our latest "Greatest Generation".
