Our first guest will be Maj Troy Scott. Troy was on what was supposed to be a routine site inspection in the Ghanzi Providence of Afghanistan, his patrol unit came under an attack from insurgents. When a grenade was thrown from a nearby rooftop, Scott risked his own life to save the lives his Soldiers. After throwing the grenade away from his fellow Soldiers before it detonated, he used his own body to shield a Soldier from the blast. Maj Jason Amerine will also join us on You Served Radio. Jason was the A-team commander of ODA 574 which is the subject of the book The Only Thing Worth Dying For. Jason will talk with us about that experience in the opening days of Enduring Freedom, getting to know Hamid Karzai and what the terrible day of Dec 5th, 2001 has meant to him.
