Christian Bauzo
Operation Iraqi Freedom
| 1st Battalion, 4th Marines
In the aftermath of an RPG blast, Christian Bauzo was unharmed but guys all around him were wounded. He tried to calm them down until the Corpsman arrived. Then it was time to continue pushing into Najaf. Part 3 of 5. (9:28)
Christian Bauzo had just left the room when a Mahdi rocket slammed in. The Marines were clearing buildings in Najaf and, in the next one, he was on watch at a high window. When it was time, he turned it over to another Marine. Not very long after that, the man fell face forward to the floor. Part 4 of 5. (Caution: strong language) (8:46)
Near the end of the Battle of Najaf, Christian Bauzo heard something on the radio that was devastating. "Someone got hit He's down! It's Dondo!" It was his best friend who had been taken out by an Iraqi sniper. Part 5 of 5. (Caution: strong language) (6:28)
After the bitterly fought Battle of Najaf, Christian Bauzo's next operation was at the town of Kufa. He was disappointed that his squad was placed in a blocking position rather than at the point. Part 1 of 2. (Caution: strong language) (6:51)
He was on point. It was the middle of the night in the middle of the street in Kufa, a small Iraqi town. Christian Bauzo heard the RPG's coming. After three of them missed him, he decided he might be better off back with the other guys. Part 2 of 2. (Caution: strong language) (6:05)
How do you feel when you come home from war having faced death and beaten it? Christian Bauzo felt like Superman for a while. He would not have to face combat in his next deployment, a tour aboard ship. (4:28)
After two combat tours in Iraq, Christian Bauzo was able to transfer to the trailer platoon. This was a support unit for Force Recon, the special forces of the Marine Corps. This was great because he trained and worked with them. (7:56)
With a baby coming and considering the quality of some of the leadership he'd experienced, Christian Bauzo decided to get out. He left the Marine Corps behind but held close the memories of his comrades, those who lived and those who died. (Caution: strong language) (9:50)
He was not that attracted to college so Christian Bauzo enlisted in the Marine Corps. Why the Marines? Because they weren't just the best of the best, they had a look about them. (4:36)
Christian Bauzo had already enlisted in the Marines but he was finishing his senior year in high school. He saw the 9/11 attacks live on the TV and he made up his mind that, when he got there, he was going infantry. (7:41)
