In September 2010, I accompanied a group of soldiers as an embedded journalist on a foot patrol through a remote village in eastern Afghanistan. While speaking to a group of young men, an unknown assailant fired a rocket propelled grenade at us, striking me in the face, then hitting Lt. Derek Zotto in the arm. We were both evacuated from the scene and treated for our injuries. Here's a look at what happened. For more about my work, visit: www.carmengentile.com
