I have written about C Company 2/503rds Battle of Wanat several times, here, here and here.
All of those links have good descriptions of what happened on that terrible day last July, but Michelle Tan of the Army Times has one heck of a story up at www.armytimes.com/news/2008/12/army_WanatMain_121408/. This is a story you want to read to get the detail of what the soldiers felt, heard, saw and experienced. Take a few moments and read a peice of history that will forever go down in the books of what it means to lay your life down for the guys on the left and right.
