Matthew Cox with Army Times has written an excellent account of an operation by 5-20 INF soldiers to rescue two downed Kiowa pilots from 3-17 CAV in Tal'Afar on September 4th. Must read.
I would post an excerpt below, but the article is very long and you'll want to read the whole thing anyway. I'll see if we can get permission to reprint the full text here. Thanks to Keith Whitten for alerting us to this piece.
