On June 18, 2006, Sgt. Joshua Gutierrez of the 4th Infantry Division out of Fort Hood, Texas, was on patrol near Osut, Iraq, searching for missing U.S. soldiers.

“At first, we went into the city and did a peaceful door knock, asking the people there if they'd seen our personnel,” said 25-year-old Gutierrez in a telephone interview from the Naval Medical Center San Diego.
