Jaramillo injured from roadside bomb; Koenig makes sure Humvees, Strykers get out in field

Jaramillo, or J. Lo, as his Army buddies call him, drives a Stryker armored vehicle in Mosul, Iraq, for the Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT) of the 1st Brigade of the 25th Infantry Division. He deployed here in October of 2004, after about two years of training at Fort Lewis in Washington state. Last January, Jaramillo and his unit had a brush with death when their Stryker hit a roadside bomb. Although the Stryker was virtually destroyed by the blast, no one was killed.
