    Sgt. Ricardo Ramirez, a combat replacement for 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, explains to a junior Marine the importance of the defensive location the squad moved to after receiving intelligence of enemy fighters preparing to engage their patrol, Aug. 6. In February of 2006, Ramirez was wounded in action while serving in Iraq with 3rd Bn., 5th Marines and two years later became the first hand-amputee to re-enlist in the Marines Corps.
