Paying Tribute to the Endless Mission of the Combat Medic

Afghanistan.  Battleground of the last decade for many US troops.  Now that the intensity of the ground campaign in Iraq is lowering, even more boots are entrenched in this mysterious, mountainous, and vicious country.  As more troops are inserted into the fighting, more are exposed to danger.  As the number of casualties mounts, one branch of the service gets busier and busier.  Here is a tribute article to the harrowing and ongoing life-saving mission of the Medevac combat teams of the US military.
