Marine defies terrorists who tried to kill him

Marine Gunnery Sgt. Michael Burghardt is depicted shortly after cowardly terrorists tried to kill him.

Gunnery Sgt. Burghardt, on his third tour of Iraq, was bravely trying to disarm an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) to protect other Marines. The device exploded by remote control before it could be disarmed. Knowing the enemy was likely watching the treatment of his wounds, Gunnery Sgt. Burghardt insisted on being lifted to his feet where he is shown with a message to the terrorists.

God bless him and all of our military men and women and contractors.
