What It's All About

The following FOXNews.com story noted the following incident in the fight for a bridge in Hindiyah. This is what it is all about.

At one point, U.S. soldiers spotted an elderly woman in black chador, lying wounded in the middle of the bridge. Using his Bradley fighting vehicle for cover, company commander Capt. Chris Carter of Watkinsville, Ga., ran out to center of the bridge, saw that she needed urgent help and called for an armored ambulance to take her to an aid station.

He used his M-16 rifle to provide cover while the medics put her on a stretcher. Carter then returned to the U.S. side of the bridge.
