he ran back and forth between the humvee and a supply room three times, dodging explosions and gunfireed covering fire so his fellow soldiers could try to make a run for it and escape. and when some of them did not escape, when their bodies were lost in the dust and in the smoke, staff sergeant carter and a fellow soldier defended that trapped humvee for hours until the smoke cleared and they could see what was around them, including their fellow soldiers who had been wounded or killed. >> and if you're left with just one image from that day, let it be this. ty carter bending over, picking up stephen mace, cradling him in his arms, and carrying him through all those bullets and getting him back to that humvee. and then ty stepped out again, recovering a radio, finally making contact with the rest of the troop, and they came up with a plan. as clint bromecher and his team provided cover, these three soldiers made their escape. ty, brad carrying stephen on a stretcher through the chaos, delivering stephen to the medics. and the battle was still not over. so ty returned to the fight. with
