In this episode, Col. Bill Ostlund tells the story of what he calls the most honorable mission he took part in over more than three decades of Army service. When a soldier from an adjacent battalion, Staff Sgt. Ryan Fritsche, was reported missing in action after a firefight, Col. Ostlund led a force composed of his battalion's soldiers to find him. The story is an example of a vital part of the Army's ethos—to never leave a fallen comrade—in action.
