APTOPIX Afghanistan Medevac

Lance Cpl. Blas Trevino of the 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, clutches his rosary beads as he is loaded onto a medevac helicopter from the U.S. Army’s Task Force Lift “Dust Off”, Charlie Company 1-214 Aviation Regiment after he got shot in the stomach outside Sangin, in the Helmand Province of southern Afghanistan, Saturday, June 11, 2011. The Army’s ‘Dust Off’ crew needed two attempts to get him out, as they were fired upon and took five bullets into the tail of their aircraft. (AP Photo/Anja Niedringhaus)
