Sergeant Juan Valdez, a vehicle commander with Mobile Security Detachment, Headquarters Company, Regimental Combat Team 8, was wounded during his second deployment to Iraq in 2006 while with 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment. After sustaining a bullet wound through sniper fire and being sent home for recoupment, Valdez felt a strong guilt for being away from his fellow Marine brothers and hopes his current deployment will ease his guilt.
