Oscar Pistorius

Amped: A Soldier's Race for Gold in the Shadow of War
$24.95
I had the honor of serving in the same Platoon in Iraq with this fine Soldier. The one thing that I will never ever forget is the way he never, no matter what the circumstance had a negative thing to say about anybody or anything. His religious convictions and utter faith in God was an inspiration to everyone who had the honor to serve with him. He fails to mention in here on the same night of the innocent mans death in March 04' he was sent to guide a HMMV carrying two wounded soldiers through the dark night and dangerous Baghdad Streets alone to the Green Zone to guide this lost HMMV to safety, undoubtedly saving their lives. I love the man you are SGT. C. BANDITS!!!
