Survival

IEDs are banned under all the rules of warfare, because they're such indiscriminate maimers and killers.

I keep hearing talk of patrols that have been hit in ambushes all across the city.

The convoy dropped us off exactly where we've asked it to the capital of the "Triangle of Death.

Getting mortared is a part of everyday life in the Triangle of Death.

Rex loves sniffing out bombs on IED alley.

My father died on January 5th, 2005, which meant I got to spend one last Christmas with him.

I received many letters and messages from friends and family that showed an incredible amount of support.

You and Rex are a great team.

To all my brothers and sisters in the armed services, you have become family to me and I love you.

I look to my fellow marines as my own brothers.

I know that if we mess up it could cost the lives of my fellow marines.

we've been getting hit by rockets, mortars, and small arms daily.

I know Rex and I could be out there helping stop the carnage.

From Rex and I seeing this big pile of of weaponry makes me feel life Rex and I have done good out there, that maybe we've saved a good number of lives.

I want us to be out there helping find those devices and saving lives.

We're both of us unsettled now that we've finally reached Death Central.

PE4 is the main killer here in Iraq.

To Rex clearing the route of death is all a fantastic game.

if Rex steps on an improvised explosive device, we're both as good as done for.

It's extremely dangerous right now, with marines getting hurt and killed.
