<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nDevtun sends us a link to Military.com<\/a> and the story of Sergeant First Class Richard Harris who was caught in an ambush with his special forces team sergeant Master Sgt. Danial \u201cSlim\u201d Adams;<\/p>\n Almost immediately, Adams took a burst of PKM fire — suffering wounds to his wrist, thigh and neck \u2013 and was thrown from his ATV within meters of the enemy line.<\/p>\n Harris recalled the area around them suddenly came to life with the sounds and flashes of close gunfire. “My mindset was, ‘Holy crap. We’re in deep trouble,'” he remembered.<\/p>\n “At the time, I didn’t know what happened,” Harris said. “I just saw him kind of dive off\/fall off his ATV.”<\/p>\n Harris aborted his path and veered up a small hill to take cover between two buildings. Harris, under intense enemy fire, fired his M-4 rifle and grenade launcher at the enemy, all the while calling out to his team sergeant below.<\/p>\n Adams died of his wounds on that Sept. 13, 2011, but Harris spent the rest of the battle aggressively attacking the ambushing insurgents while guarding the body of his team sergeant at significant risk to his own life, according to the release.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
