Over the past months, Sgt. Eric Syfrett, Spc. Derek Bartholomew, Spc. Micheal Bosch, Spc. James Johns, Spc. John Teale, Spc. William Trevathan and Pfc. Jesse Garcia have treated casualties under enemy fire, treated gunshot wounds, performed preventative medicine duties and treated local nationals for a variety of medical needs. Being a medical professional, especially on the line, not relegated to duty in the aid station or Combat Service Hospital, is a lesson in opposites. These men have to behave as Soldiers and medics, but they must also treat civilians and enemy casualties, an ultimate lesson in duality.
