If you've been following the war through Michael Yon's dispatches, you'll know what a great soldier-leader Erik Kurilla has been. If you're not following the war through Michael Yon's dispatches, you're not following the war at all.
The Commander of Deuce Four, LTC Erik Kurilla, was shot three times in combat yesterday in front of my eyes. Despite being seriously wounded, LTC Kurilla immediately rejoined the intense and close-quarter fight that ended in hand-to-hand combat. LTC Kurilla continued to direct his men until a medic gave him morphine and the men took him away.
