            <description><![CDATA[...do all day.&nbsp; From Steve Mraz of the Stars and Stripes:

HAMIYA, Iraq -- Noticing that the &quot;Sons of Iraq&quot; checkpoints stood deserted, he felt something was amiss. 

A combat veteran of a brutal tour in east Baghdad at the height of the &quot;surge,&quot; he had an internal alarm that detected such discrepancies. It was around 11:20 a.m. Jan. 7 on a nameless road in Hanaswa in northern Babil province south of Baghdad. 

For his actions that day, Army Sgt. Brandon Waugh, 1st Squad leader, 3rd Platoon, Company B, 1st Battalion, 2nd Infantry Regiment out of Schweinfurt, Germany, has been nominated for an award and will be promoted as early as possible. 

Waugh's vehicle was at a &quot;Sons of Iraq&quot; checkpoint about 150 meters ahead of the checkpoint where Sgt. 1st Class Ammala Louangketh, his platoon sergeant, was stopped. As Waugh peered through his weapon's sighting system to look for the missing &quot;Sons of Iraq,&quot; he heard gunshots behind him. Waugh was talking on his hand microphone trying to figure out what happened, running alongside his truck and guiding his driver who was backing up to the checkpoint where the shots had originated.

                <![CDATA[&nbsp;These men are just like the ones I served with in the 82nd ABN DIV. I am so proud to be a veteran, and an American, when I hear these reports! They are always in my thoughts and prayers.<br />
