Posting on behalf of my friends and brothers who I served proudly with and gave their lives to save many. LCpl Jordan Haerter received the Navy Cross for his actions in Ramadi, Iraq 4-22-08. Cpl Nick Xiarhos was among one of those saved by Haerter and Yale that day. We served with 1st BN 9th MAR. A little after our return Xiarhos left with 2/8 to deploy with them to Helmand Province, Afghanistan in which a few months in to the deployment he lost his life to an IED. Here are their stories as both were covered by CBS News. Also Haerter's Navy Cross Citation. Not a day goes by where I do not think about them.

Great to see other Dead Walkers on here. Especially from the past. Don't know if your on our facebook page fl1946 but we have over 1000 other 1/9 Marines on the page. Many from Vietnam. Message me if your not on the page and would like the link.
