Can't say enough good things about the 1st of 506th, the battalion commander, their company commanders, their company sergeants, their E-dogs.

I mean, just...

just awesome and and i think part of this is when you get into like a real fight like this dude everyone is just like wants to help out and if you can help out i i'm thankful and seth and his guys had been out there with the first of the 506 for pretty much the entire deployment for them and um

They planned an operation, set up two Overwatch positions, mutually supporting Overwatch positions down in the Malab district, South Malab district.

And Seth was in one Overwatch position and the other Overwatch position got attacked.

It got attacked.

They were getting attacked through the morning, you know, like RPGs, small arms fire, things are starting to escalate.

And somebody through dead space got close enough to throw a grenade and threw a grenade.

And Mikey Monsoor, who, again, just as solid as they come, man, as solid as they come, he saw their grenade, yelled out, grenade.

The way he was positioned on that rooftop,

He was the one that could have gotten away from it.

He could have left his guys exposed, but instead he jumped on it.

and called over to Seth, and Seth assembled his guys, left his Iraqis there, left their gear there, just brought their, you know, their primary kit, rolled over, fought their way to that position, and then, you know, got that under control, organized, and got them cazevacked out, and...

got back to base, Camp Corregidor.

And then Seth had to take some of his guys that could still function mentally back to get the Iraqis and back to get the gear.

So, you know, Seth just stepping up.

And it was the battalion commander

He called me up and told me, hey, because I could hear what was happening over the radio.

But once they were out of the field, he called me and he said, gave me a sit rep on the guys.

One guy was like pretty good to go.
