Taylor Burk's friends here in Iraq told him over and over: Don't come back. You've bled enough for your country. You've got nothing to prove.

But the 21-year-old medic from Amarillo, Texas, couldn't stand to be away from his brothers in arms. So, even though the gunshot wound he sustained while saving another soldier's life made walking painful sometimes, he pushed to leave Fort Hood in Texas and return to his unit. And when he got back to Iraq, he finagled his way out of a headquarters job and into a frontline company.

Spec. Burk died Wednesday after a powerful roadside bomb exploded next to the armored humvee he was driving in southwest Baghdad.
