The Marines standing post, Lance Cpl. Jordan Haerter and Cpl. Jonathan T. Yale, noticed the truck rapidly negotiating the obstacles, recognized the threat a suicide bomber driving a truck capable of carrying a large quantity of explosives posed to the Marines and Iraqi policemen in the area, and engaged the truck with precise fire. The two Marines were mortally wounded, but their actions saved the lives of 50 Marines and Iraqi policemen.
