Summary of James Patterson & Matt Eversmann's Walk in My Combat Boots - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 2004, I was part of the US Army National Guard and was deployed to Iraq with my platoon. We drove a jerry-rigged Humvee in a convoy to Camp Anaconda, northwest of Baghdad. It took us two days to get there. #2 Camp Anaconda, where I am stationed, becomes the most dangerous place in Iraq. The hospital, one of the largest in Iraq, overflows with casualties, mostly young Marines. #3 I will spend half of my time in Iraq outside the wire.
I will suffer permanent brain injury from having gotten blown up several times. I will never have a single regret. I will think of Armando Hernandez and Anthony Dixon and the young Marine screaming to cut his hand off so he can go back out and fight with his brothers and sisters. #4 I am a Ranger, and I have been deployed six times. My missions involve looking for and capturing high-value Iraqi targets.
I have to be strong and focused so I can return home to my family.
