Matthew Zedwick Air Quotations

Our job was to help secure the main supply route through raids and air assault missions. It was day and night. We never stopped. At times, we took a lot of fire. There were definitely some scary moments.

It was my first real contact. I was driving and our squad leader was riding to my right in the front seat. The car bomb was in a Land Rover and we got hit in the right side. I didn't know what was happening. Smoke filled the rig. It blew us into the air and spun us around, but luckily, we landed on our wheels.
