US Marine Sgt. Ricardo Ramirez wades through an irrigation canal to move into a night observation post in Sangin, Afghanistan, August 5, 2011. In February of 2006, Ramirez was wounded in action while serving in Iraq and two years later became the first hand-amputee to re-enlist in the Marines Corps. Since then the multiple-tour combat veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan has served as an urban warfare instructor, attended the pre-sniper course at division schools and stayed close to his infantry roots.
