Sayed Gul stands with his father Alai Noor after talking
Summary
Sayed Gul stands with his father Alai Noor after talking to U.S. Marines with Weapons Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, during their visit to the Baluch Jan village here, Dec. 2. Gul, the 15-year-old son of an Afghan farmer, lost half of his left leg when he was struck by a 20-pound improvised explosive device in March near a Marine patrol base. He was evacuated by helicopter to receive three weeks of advanced care at Camp Dwyer’s Combat Support Hospital. After returning to his village and becoming extremely sick, he received life-saving care from Weapons Co. Marines and corpsmen. He returns to them weekly for continued care. “If the Marines weren’t here, maybe I’d have lost my life because nobody else would’ve been able to help me,” Gul said.
