2005 - SFC Michael Hertig. As far back as he can remember, SFC Hertig always knew he wanted to serve in the military. Although he originally planned on serving in the Marine Corps, in the footsteps of his father and uncle, he ultimately joined the Army in order to be an Infantryman. Was was awarded the Silver Star Medal. We'll also talk with Ryan Brown of Bridge of Sighs. BoS is a great friend of You Served and we'll have a send off interview for their upcoming trip to GTMO. Our last guests will be Scott Beauchamp. The Scott Thomas Beauchamp controversy concerns the publication of a series of diaries by Scott Thomas Beauchamp (b. 1983 St. Louis, Missouri) – a private in the United States Army, serving in the Iraq War, and a member of Alpha Company, 1-18 Infantry, Second Brigade Combat Team, First Infantry Division. In 2007, using the pen name "Scott Thomas", Beauchamp filed three entries in The New Republic about serving at Forward operating base Falcon, Baghdad. These entries concerned alleged misconduct by soldiers, including Beauchamp, in post-invasion Iraq. Several publications and bloggers questioned Beauchamp's statements. The New Republic investigated the statements, first standing by the content of Beauchamp's articles for several months, then concluding that they could no longer stand by this material. A U.S. Army investigation had previously concluded the statements in the material were false.
