#Repost @greenberetfoundation with @get_repost ・・・ Staff Sgt. Justin Peck, a Green Beret, was among those service members invited by the First Lady and President Trump to attend last night's State of the Union address. De Oppresso Liber 🇺🇸️ From the @whitehouse: Staff Sergeant Justin Peck has served in the United States Army for eight years. In November 2017, he was part of a team, along with Chief Petty Officer Kenton Stacy, that was conducting a multi-day mission with partner forces in Raqqa, Syria, to clear IEDs from territory previously controlled by ISIS. After the team had located and disarmed seven IEDs, Chief Petty Officer Stacy was clearing the second floor of a hospital building when he was struck by an IED blast and severely wounded. Without hesitation, Staff Sergeant Peck, who was holding a position outside the building, rushed to Stacy’s location on the uncleared, IED-ridden second floor. Staff Sergeant Peck’s actions—including applying a tourniquet, placing an endotracheal tube, and performing artificial respirations and CPR—were directly responsible for saving Chief Petty Officer Stacy’s life. #specialforces #greenberet #deoppressoliber #quietprofessional #greenberetfoundation
