I've meant to share this for awhile. This is a great story about one of my college friends/neighbors and a true American hero.
As of now, he's had two surgeries and is doing well. I pray for his continued recovery and blessings.
He pulled out his own bandage and wrapped up his head, said Lt. Col. John Fickel, a professor of military science. He led the rest of the platoon as they defeated the ambush, and then conducted the medevac.
But Woods did not evacuate with the other wounded men.
He led back the rest of the platoon to base before he got medical treatment, Fickel said.
As of now, he's had two surgeries and is doing well. I pray for his continued recovery and blessings.
