It's hard to believe that it has been 20 years since my first deployment. In Honor of the Soldiers in BlackHawk Company 1-23IN out of Fort Lewis, I have compiled a collection of interviews from Mosul from 20034.
My FSNCO SSG (R) Troutman is writing a book to detail the critical points of the deployment. You can find some of the info on (https://www.facebook.com/SSGTROUTMAN), and the book will be released on 4 August 2024.
You can also hear more about Joe and his story in Episode #77 of this show.

I hope you enjoy these. This is a much younger version of myself, but the danger of that day was very much real, and the soldiers around me rose to the occasion as they always did. I would like to publicly thank them and all veterans for their service to the nation and each other.
