On Oct 17, 2005 SFC Alwyn C. Cashe was mortally wounded, willfully allowing himself to burn to death in a heroic attempt to save 6 of his brothers in arms trapped inside of a burning Bradley.

SFC Cashe, covered in fuel, rushed to the vehicle, igniting himself. He heroically struggled to lower the ramp, all the while on fire himself. Upon the lowering of the ramp, SFC Cashe, still on fire, entered the vehicle 3 times removing his trapped and dazed brothers.

SFC Cashe died on November 8, 2005 and was awarded the Silver Star for Valor (post) on Nov 11, 2005.

Please, honor SFC Cashe as he honored all of us with his selfless ultimate sacrifice. RIP, brother.

"We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies our problem of getting to these people and killing them.”
