Army Pfc. Blaine Sullivan lost his leg while saving a fallen Afghan ally in Sangsar, the town where Mullah Mohammad Omar founded the Taliban movement and called its first meeting. Coalition troops had not been there since 2007, considering it too dangerous.

The wounded Afghan soldier had stepped on a mine and had lost his right leg. Sullivan and his American comrades "… loaded the ANA soldier into a stretcher and started carrying him back to the helicopter landing zone. No more than five or ten feet after picking him up, the explosion went off. I remember flying a few feet through the air and landing on my stomach.

Few physicians can say they've landed an F-14 Tomcat aboard an aircraft carrier...at night...when it was snowing...while the ship's deck was pitching amid 30- to 40-foot swells. But Dr. James L. Sullivan - a fighter pilot turned physician - has done that and more. As a naval aviator, Sullivan had deployments to the Red and Adriatic seas. He escorted bombers during the first Gulf War.
