Hey, I know that unit

http://www.military.com/news/article/guardsman-killed-saving-afghan-girl-hailed-as-a-hero.html?comp=700001075741&rank=2

 

The linked story is about a Rhode Island National Guard member who was fatally injured when he put his body between a young Afghan girl and an Army MRAP (which weighs 16 tons).

Anyway, it shows how strange a world we live in:  I once was in the unit he was in, only it was part of the Texas National Guard at the time

C Company, 1st Battalion (Airborne) 143rd Infantry Regiment
