I remember watching Fitz get hit over and over again limping dragging himself to cover still shooting as he moved when he went down I thought he was dying it was like a tectonic shift seeing him like that. My world rocked when Fitz was gone back at hospital somewhere safe I'd never felt more alone no one gave us status reports on our wounded healthy looking guys who got evacuated died men like Tyler Pruitt - tanker medic whose foot was mangled by a rocket that struck his home these door we raced to the scene cleared the LZ for a dustoff they loaded him onto the medevac there was no sense of sudden urgency He was a medic and treated his own wound the morphine
