Where Cowards Go to Die: Riveting Testimony from Iraq

Heroes Behind Headlines

Thrown into a chaotic and deadly maelstrom of combat during the $785B Iraqi War, you can almost feel the bullets whizzing past as Benjamin Sledge speaks about how he came through his literal 'trial by fire.'
Though raised in a family with generations of soldiers, Benjamin's experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq were still shocking, and the psychic armor he developed to survive transformed him into someone he didn't recognize. In his eleven years in combat, Ben earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart.
