The Ultimate Sacrifice

This was a story of a man who was in the military and while he was in Iraq he met a young man who was running food and supplies to an outpost.  While he was in the car he hit a landmine and it exploded the car, instantly killing him and severely injuring the others in the car with him.  He will never be forgotten by the man who now wears a bracelet with his initials and date of his death on it to keep him strong in hard times.  It is called the Ultimate sacrifice because he believes there is nothing bigger than giving your own life for your country.  He mentions that the military does not teach you how to cope with the loss of friends or training for how to emotionally handle yourself after traumatizing accidents.
