During a firefight with insurgents in the Shal Valley in eastern Afghanistan's Nuristan province, U.S. Army Sgt. James T. Schmidt, an infantry squad leader from Decatur, Ill., assigned to Company C, 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, Task Force No Slack, checks on his soldiers from his fighting position on top of a mountain, Nov. 8. “My grandfather was in the Merchant Marines and he’s really proud of me,” said Schmidt. “He’s really into what I’m doing here.” (Photo by U.S. Army Staff Sgt.
