Descripción

In this powerful interview, Justin shares his raw, firsthand account of **Black Sunday** — the Battle of Sadr City that turned his unit’s very first routine patrol into one of the deadliest days in the Iraq War.What began as a standard escort mission quickly spiraled into chaos when hundreds of Mahdi Army insurgents ambushed them in the narrow streets of Sadr City. Justin and his brothers fought through relentless ambushes, taking heavy fire from all directions. He was wounded by shrapnel from a pipe bomb, yet continued the fight before riding an M1 Abrams tank back to the outpost under fire to reach safety.This is a story of courage, brotherhood, and survival on a day that claimed eight American lives and changed the course of the war.
