 On October 3, 2009, soldiers of B Troop, 3rd Squadron, 61st Calvary, 4th Infantry Division, were performing security operations at Combat Outpost Keating, Kamdisch District, Afghanistan. Contact first came in. I mean, you could instantly tell from that first barrage that this wasn't our normal every day. They're just popping a few rounds at us. I woke up to some explosions in the morning and headed for the talk. We heard the initial explosions, the initial gunfire go off, and then about 15, 20 minutes later, we realized like it was some little more serious than usual. We're getting hit from all over, 360. You know, every position was overwhelmed. It was a combination of machine gun fire, RPGs, mortar, stuff like that. When I came out of the talk, Sergeant Moshe was there and he pulled about six or ten guys to help pull security and to push forward and try to take back some of the cop again. Out there making things happen, he would communicate with me consistently in order to figure out where we need to basically put fire support, where he needed mortar support or air support. He pretty much retook the cop. I thought I was never going to see my family again. And when they started retaking back the cop, you know, he was the spearhead of that. And I wish all the best for him. For his heroic actions at Combat Outpost Keating on October 3rd, 2009, Staff Sergeant Clint Romache is awarded the Medal of Honor.
