- Good.

- Yay!

You didn't have a problem then,

you have a problem with a f***ing chicken.

- Real chicken.

- Damn.

Like, I've never seen someone

jump up that fast in my life.

It was a rough day.

Sure was.

How do you think today's

gonna go?

This went on for nine days.

Hey, we got 45 seconds

to a bomb drop.

Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!

Allahu Akbar!

Six-four, roger.

Allahu Akbar!

Allahu Akbar!

Damn!

Do you know why

you've done this for 22 years?

As long as I can stay healthy

and keep doing it,

- Yeah.

- Even after a mission like this.

I think that we made

a huge difference here,

No Slack, attention!

Staff Sergeant Sizemore

[ "The Star Spangled Banner"

Plays 1

For those fought beside us,

It was hard.

I knew all of them.

And as a task force commander,

it's very difficult

It's our responsibility

to remember their courage,

Sergeant Mendez!

Sergeant Trickendaus!

Specialist Lindskog!

Specialist Jameson L. Lindskog!

Lindskog was a young guy.

You know, who knows what he could

have brought to the world.

Caring for others,

as he, himself, needed urgent care:

Sergeant First Class Arrechaga!

Sergeant First Class

Ofren Arrechaga!

He was the rock for the platoon.

These bonds are so close that...

you're not gonna leave

somebody out there

Staff Sergeant Frank Adamski!

Staff Sergeant Frank E. Adamski!

Sergeant Adamski was

a husband, father,

Staff Sergeant Bryan Burgess!

Staff Sergeant Bryan A. Burgess!

The last thing Sergeant Burgess

said to me was, uh,

"Where's my chariot?"

Specialist Dustin Feldhaus!

Specialist Dustin J. Feldhaus!

We went through thick

and thin together,

I love you, Mouse.

Rest in peace, brother.

PFC Jeremy Faulkner!

PFC Jeremy P. Faulkner!

With such a famous last name,

I told him he should live up to it.

He gave back to me,

and no kidding, he told me, quote,

You'll always be remembered,

Present arms!

All these men...

his men, dead.

He didn't know the camera

was rolling.

He hung back the whole time.

When no one else was around,

he walked up,

and he let the tears of this entire war

come out, right there.

And I could do nothing...

but cry, myself.

You sit down and you come

to grips with your life.

But you have to realize

that what you've done

is something important.

And you hope you've left

something behind.

We only do this

to make a difference.

That's why you constantly

keep going back,

keep fighting,

keep trying to tell these stories.

Otherwise,

You know something?

It's been for something.

It has.

I think you have an IED on you.

- Is she still following me?

- Yep.

Good luck with that tractor.

High, high five. There you go!

Fist bump! No fist bump?

Yeah! Whoo!

What do you miss most

about home on Fourth of July?

But I have my new family here,

To everybody back home,

I miss you and I love you.

What kind of message

would you wanna give Americans
