Just as good as they come.

And he gets shot.

Thankfully he was, had his weapon right up in his cheek.

Well, where are you supposed to have it?

You know, three hours into a clearance operation on a rooftop, and he still is a disciplined machine gunner.

He has his weapon up in his cheek well, and a single shot hits his machine gun and hits him in the face and just devastating damage to his face.

And they, you know, they caz-a-vac him.

And this kind of initiates one of the larger battles in the Battle of Ramadi was on August 2nd.

And...

Leif and his guys go back to Cop Falcon, which is a combat outpost.

And we have a great relationship with the 137, and Leif's great friends with their company commander, Mike Baima.

And I'm great friends with Colonel Tedesco.

And now they're starting to take heavies out there in the field.

It's a big gunfight.

And Leif gets Ryan Kasavak, and it didn't look good.

Um, although he did stabilize, but you know, Leif did not think he was going to make it, um, for a bit.

And these guys are back there and, uh, the army, our brothers in the army said, Hey, we were taking contact from some of these buildings.

We think this is where these insurgents are.

Can you help us?

And you know, Leif called me on the radio and he's like, hey, here's what's happening.
