Hero Tribute - Thursday 3/17/11

SFC Benjamin L. Sebban - KIA 17 Mar 07 - As Sadah, Iraq

SFC Sebban was serving as a Senior Medic at the C Troop patrol base when he identified a suspicious vehicle rapidly approaching the patrol base. He began to shout commands for everyone to get down and attempted to engage and eliminate the threat but was unable to subdue the driver before the VBIED was detonated. SFC Sebban's actions saved the lives of at least 5 Soldiers and despite his fatal wounds he immediately jumped to his feet and headed to the Aid Station to begin treating casualties. He was postumously awarded the Silver Star for his gallantry.

In memory of SFC Sebban, the WOD for Thursday 3/17/11 is a Crossfit.com Hero WOD called Severin in honor of SFC Severin Summers

"Severin"
