Sergeant Cashe was commanding and Bradley fighting vehicle and night patrol in Iraq. They came under enemy fire. An Improvised Explosive Device detonated, igniting the vehicles fuel and engulfing in flames.

So he pushed his own pain aside or returned to the burning vehicle and got everyone out of that inferno. That was his code, a warrior who literally walked through fire for his troops.
