   ....Twelve paratroopers were called to rescue an Iraqi army unit that
   had been ambushed and had lost ten men. By the time they were done,
   [1]about 400 enemy were dead and another 400 injured, and the
   paratroopers had expended over 11,0000 rounds of ammunition.
   For their actions one paratrooper would receive the Silver Star and
   two others would earn the Bronze Medal for Valor. You can see [2]some
   pictures of the twelve brave men and some of the battle damage
   (pictures 11 through 14.)
