Sgt. Adam served as a Combat Medic, but ...
they have used him in their new QFR (quick reactionary force) where they land a small quiet Chinook helo at night where they know al-Queda lives and kick down the doors trying to score some intel. Adam says these people are losing the will to fight and are rolling intel on other operations on their cohorts while being checked out by Adam as a medic.Sgt. Adam and his unit have recently rotated back to The States, and the Sahlberg family is quietly celebrating his return.
Adam has to document any health issues, wounds, cuts, bruises, etc on each prisoner at the time of their capture. Adam also states that they are ready to give up so that they can stop worrying about being killed and get some much needed rest, food, and good medical treatment. None captured have tried to escape or blow themselves up, however, some have given false intel and directed troops to already booby trapped houses.
Bill describes it:
Below is a picture of Sgt Adam and his family after the "uncasing of the flag" ceremonies. Adam has the entire month of July off to be with his family and enjoy the freedoms that he has helped preserve.
57 soldiers paid the ultimate price from his unit and they will not be forgotten. This ceremony was an awesome sight seeing 5500 men lined up with their comrades in arms. After the ceremony, Adam was playing and chasing his girls on the lush green parade grounds while visiting and talking with his fellow soldiers, some with crutches, and some in wheelchairs.

(Please click on the image for the full size version of a very happy family)Of every one-hundred men,
Ten shouldn't even be there.
Eighty are nothing but targets.
Nine are real fighters....
We are lucky to have them,
They make the battle. Ah, but one,
One of them is a Warrior....
He will bring the others home.
