Desert Storm Revisited

Fallen Brother
Perhaps the most iconic image to emerge from Desert Storm was taken by David Turnley, who was aboard this Medevac helicopter when a body bag was brought aboard. The man in the bag had been killed during fighting in the Euphrates Valley, where a Bradley armored vehicle was hit by direct mortar fire. During the firefight, medics quickly grabbed the body of the dead man, not knowing who he was, and evacuated the survivors, which included Sergeant Ken Kozakiewicz, 23, from Buffalo, New York. It was only once Sergeant Kozakiewicz was aboard the helicopter and the dog tags of the corpse were handed to him that he learned that the dead man was his friend, the driver of the Bradley.
