Bradley Kasal
Bradley Kasal (born 1966 in Marengo, Iowa) is a Sergeant Major in the United States Marine Corps who received the Navy Cross for heroic actions performed as the First Sergeant of Weapons Company, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines during a firefight in Operation Phantom Fury in Fallujah, Iraq on November 13, 2004.
On May 1, 2006, in a ceremony at Camp Pendleton, Kasal was awarded the Navy Cross, followed by his promotion to Sergeant Major and reenlistment in the Marine Corps.
==Actions in Iraq==
In a fire fight in a house in Fallujah, although wounded by seven 7.62x39mm rounds and hit by more than 43 pieces of hot fragmentation from a grenade while using his body to shield an injured fellow Marine, Kasal refused to quit fighting and is credited with saving the lives of several Marines during the U.S. assault on insurgent strongholds in Fallujah in November 2004.
By the time he was carried out of the house by LCpl Chris Marquez and LCpl Dan Shaffer, Kasal had lost approximately 60 percent of his blood.〔Floto, "U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Maj. Bradley Kasal: Wounded First Sergeant Awarded Navy Cross, ''Defend America'', 2006.〕 The (photograph of Kasal, taken by photographer Lucian Read ) — blood-soaked and still holding his M9 pistol and KA-Bar fighting knife — being helped from the building by fellow Marines, has become one of the iconic pictures of the war.〔Floto, "Wounded Marine in iconic Fallujah photo awarded Navy Cross", ''Marine Corps News'', 2006.〕
