I was actually @ camp phoneix when this had happened though i was not on the front gate i was on the qrf team to resond to the bomb @ the gate. We were out of fort sill oklahoma 75th fires brigade 2nd 18th feild artillery. I worked by this mans sided more than a couple of 8 hour shifts he kept the local s pretty much in line when they would be waiting for their sponsors to arrive. At any rate he is a class act and a deserving human being and everything i heard from the guys on the gate was that he did indeed remove a suicide bomber from the car while guys from b battery were on gates that week. He wasnt even wearing any gear when i first arrived in country but after that accident ( if you wanna call it that ) he was issued a kevlar and vest w/ plates.

When you go to war with a country, your first inclination is to never trust anyone from that country. I sure learned that does not always hold true. Rambo was a man I would have trusted with my life any day of the week and a true patriot. In fact, I would trust him above many Americans I know. Here is a man who defended us at Camp Phoenix every day and put his ass on the line more than once out of a sense of duty and loyalty to us. The Taliban killed his wife in an attack years ago and when we arrived, he signed up with us to do his part to avenge her death. He has saved American lives at great risk to his own due to his extreme dedication to us and his appreciation for us taking down the Taliban. I would trust that man with my life to this day and am very honored to have known him. He is a living legend in Afghanistan and especially in Camp Phoenix and I hope he is allowed to serve with us until this war is over. The man deserves a ticker-tape parade at Times Square when this is all done, in my humble opinion.

I am the proud wife of a WWII Purple Heart Hero, and have had great-nephews in both Afghanistan and Iraq. From the bottom of my heart, I thank Rambo for what he is doing. God Bless you, Big Guy! Keep up the good work. P.S. See my Hero’s picture on our website.

I was at Camp Phoenix when Rambo first started maintaing the gate. I once saw him run in front of vehicles risking his life to stop cars so that our convoy could make it through the gate.
