I have attempted to compile various web links related to the Attack and subsequent casualties, along with some background information.

It is likely that some of these web links may become invalid over time, particularly those from on-line newspapers and news reports which often are removed after some period of time, such as thirty to ninety days. If you encounter a broken link, I apologize and would appreciate being informed.

The Road to Recovery (Ongoing)
          (Kristen Olson's pictorial journal on Kyle Deem's recovery beginning with his arrival at National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland. From the blog: "On Saturday morning, June 19, 2010, Captain Kyle Deem was shot in his legs while piloting a medivac helicopter in Southern Afghanistan. Gunfire tore through the chin bubble of the helicopter and exploded in his right leg. Frag and shrapnel ripped through the calf of his left leg. His right leg was hit in the artery and a PJ on board put a tourniquet on him while they were in flight, which saved his life. Kyle recalls feeling like someone punched his leg very hard and then his entire nervous system felt like it was on fire; his face was burning up.")
