Stryker Brigade off to heroic start

By J.M. SIMPSON

For the News-Miner

MOSUL, Iraq--The lives of Capt. Patrick Williams, Sgt. 1st Class Karl Zaglauer and Staff Sgt. Nick Malich intersected several nights ago in this northern Iraq town during a patrol.
Malich might be dead had he not met the two soldiers from Alaska.

Williams and Zaglauer serve with 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team out of Fort Richardson. Malich is attached to the Fort Lewis, Wash., Stryker team that is returning home. As the 172nd prepares to take over, its soldiers have taken "rides" with Fort Lewis Iraq veterans to familiarize themselves with their new duties.
