Multiple Line Textbox 1 I AM WRITING IN RE-GARDS TO A INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED ON 20 OCT 2004 IN SAMMARA IRAQ. I AM IN B CO 1/26 INF BASED OUT OF SCHWEINFURT GERMANY.MY PLT WAS CONDUCTING PATROL OPERATIONS IN OUR SECTOR OF THE CITY WHEN WE GOT A CALL THAT ARE A CO WAS JUST HIT MY A SUICIDE CAR BOMBER.WE WERE THEN MOBOLIZED TO THEIR SCENE TO SECURE AND PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH THE WOUNDED. IT WAS AT THIS TIME ONE OF OUR NCO'S BY THE NAME OF SGT, CHRISTOPHER RICH WAS DISMIUNTING OUT OF THE BFV. HE NOTICED A RAPIDLIY SPEEDING CAR APPROACHING AND FIRED A WARNING SHOT. AT THIS TIMEE THE CAR DID NOT STOP BUT CONTINUED ON ITS PATH TOWARDS HIM AND HIS SQUAD. WITHOUT ANY DELAY SGT RICH PLACED HIMSELF IN BETWEEN THE CAR AND THE REST OF SQUAD AND FIRED SEVERAL MORE SHOTS, ONE FATALLY STRINKING THE DRIVER. HOWEVER THE CAR EXPLODED WITHIN FEET OF SGT RICH SENDING METAL AND A HUGE FIRE BALL AT HIM. HE WAS KNOCKED TO THE GROUND AND SUSTAINED SEVERE INJURIES TO THE FACE AND SCHRAPNEL IN THE BODY. HIS MOST SERIOUS ONE WAS THE LOSS OF 85%HEARING IN ONE OF HIS EAR'S. HIS ACTIONS ON THAT DAY SAVED THE LIVES OF HIS SQUAD AND SEVERAL OTHERS HE IS TRULY A HERO AND SHOULD BE RECONIZED AS ONE
