Milblogger and Army Captain Charles Ziegenfus’ wife has updated his blog here.
She is at Walter Reed with the Captain and updates us on what happened to him.
Chuck was on a foot patrol w/ one of his platoons. A civilian Iraqi informant was leading the patrol to the site of the IED. Well, this informant (ass hole) set the patrol up and the IED was remotely detonated. And my husband was hit!!! The blast blew him into the canal, and CPT Jason Spencer went into the canal and saved Chuck’s life… he kept him above the water so he didn’t drown. THAT is the story in a nut shell. I am sure Chuck will explain in full detail when he is able. He did NOT pick up the IED!!!!!!!!!
Prayers and well wishes for the family, the Captain and his men still back in Iraq.
