 On July 21st, 2014, President Barack Obama will award Ryan Pitts, a former active duty Army Staff Sergeant, the Medal of Honor. Ryan talks about a bracelet he was wearing when his patrol base was overrun by enemy insurgents. Everything that I've had that I've gotten back from that day I've kept. Yeah, so it's kind of a military tradition. I don't think it's just for the Army that we get, we call them KIA bracelets, and it's just a bracelet with the guys that have fallen to remember them. And it's for us. And on that day I had two. There was one underneath that had the names of guys from both our first deployment and guys that were from First Platoon. Our First Platoon chose a company that were killed in November. And on top of that I had a bracelet of Sergeant Kaler for Sergeant Kaler. And I had them both taped together and I was wearing it that day. And it actually kept shrapnel from going through my right wrist. And I don't like to speculate, but it probably helped me keep full function of my right hand inside too. And I still have it and you can see where it's kind of chewed up. The shrapnel hit it and where it penetrated the top bracelet but almost went through the bottom but didn't. And it's just kind of almost a ride of, you know, Sergeant Kaler and those guys are still there afterwards. I haven't worn it since just because it's more of a memorial to me than to wear it.
