This is Jockel Podcast number 207 with Echo Charles and me, Jockel Willink.

Good evening, Echo. Good evening.

Now on

Podcast 203, I had the honor of

having on some members of Kilo company, three seven Marines.

I had a Corporal Kelly Miller

Sergeant Wild Bill William Hampton.

First Sergeant John Ferg Ferguson and Lieutenant Colonel Trent Gibson.

And they came on the podcast to

share the story of their brother in arms.

Their fellow Marine Jason Dunham,

who sacrificed his own life by smothering a grenade to save Kelly Miller and Bill Hampton on April 14th, 2004.

And he died

of his wounds eight days later on April 22nd, 2004.

And obviously that was an extremely hard podcast

to record. I know it was hard to listen to.

It was hard for them to recount their memories of Jason.

End of his life

and of his death as well.

And it was hard for me to watch as their emotions came to the surface and to see

the anguish in their faces and hear

the sorrow in their voices as they spoke.
