Today I interviewed four soldiers who were in the firefight in which the Richmond Hill Marine, Captain Matt Freeman, was killed.
A Savannah soldier, SPC Chris "Kitt" Lowe, was shot in the leg during the same incident, and has been flown home for treatment. The bullet struck his artery, but he should be fine.
I think the Marine Captain was on the roof of a building attempting to call in an airstrike when he was shot, and a medic climbed up to help him. SPC Lowe saw that the medic was in danger, so he jumped up and pushed the medic down, and wound up taking a bullet for him--so he's truly a hero, as was the Marine.
