Pfc Jason E Kick screamed into a tape recorder inside his Bradley fighting vehicle "One just got one of our guys" It was Kick's fellow cavalryman Sgt Nels A Moller whose Bradley took a direct hit from an Iraqi tank round — "like somebody hit us with a sledgehammer" one soldier said Moller was killed "Can't let this can't let this affect us or get us down or we're all gonna die" Kick said into his recorder "And he wouldn't want that He don't want ' -- -— --- M4 -- ''''' -— kaol -- - --A 000 — -- - t- - k- - -- C ta :4 '' 4 te611ks et ‘::tit to " - : il 4 V ' e "c" tile 1 At 04A1 01 its - k 'Do voltf 11 I $529 $699 8 0 RMO te ?)i 0 MRS fkt7 74 0 :7---- V: OUR I CLE1 12"-15- " 4 14c Lim?
