In March 2008, the 1/9th Marines, USMC, deployed to Ramadi, Iraq. A month later, a detachment of 50 Marines were moved to Joint Security Station Nasser where they were to take over from a contingent of Marines from the 2/8th Marines, who were scheduled to return home to America in a few weeks time.

Security for Joint Security Station Nasser was provided by two checkpoints and, on the 22 April 2008, Lance Corporal Jordan Haerter, of the 1/9th Marines, and Corporal Jonathan Yale, of the 2/8th Marines, were together holding post at one of the checkpoints. For two hours, the two Marines carried out their duty when a VBIED began to drive at full speed towards the checkpoint gate. In six seconds, L/Cpl Haerter & Cpl Yale made a heroic decision that saved the lives of over 150 American & Iraqi personnel.

This video is dedicated to the memory of Lance Corporal Jordan Haerter & Corporal Jonathan Yale.
