Army Staff Sgt. Mike Barrera suffered five gunshot wounds Nov. 19 in Mosul, Iraq, after a gun battle with insurgents.

Barrera's mother, Lori, said her son underwent successful surgery in Ramstein, Germany, last Saturday and he may return to the United States as early as this weekend.

Barrera, 24, was hit 5 times: twice in the right hand, once in the right tricep, once in the left hand and once in the chest. His flack jacket saved his life. One soldier was killed and eleven wounded in the action, Lori Barrera said.

Barrera was part of a raid trying to capture Jafar al-Musawi.
