MOSUL, Iraq – Col. Stephen Twitty has conquered many challenges throughout his years of service, but standing up and deploying a brigade combat team in record time would not come without a heavy price. As if leading troops into the desert of Southwest Asia for 15 months of combat was not challenging enough; he would be faced with another war to fight, on a closer battlefield, with his life hanging in the balance.
Much more at the link. Twitty has appeared here several times and is one of our most effective commanders. Silver Star winner, to boot. |
