U.S. Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Stanley Maculewicz, a corpsman with the Afghan National Army 215th Corps Mobile Strike Force Security Force Assistance Advisor Team (SFAAT), and ANA Staff Sgt. Abdul Malik pose for a photo at Camp Shorabak, Helmand Province, Afghanistan, June 15. During recent operations in Sangin, where Afghan National Security Forces cleared Taliban from one of Afghanistan's more volatile districts, Malik and a fellow ANA medic were recovering a fallen soldier, when Malik was hit by enemy fire. The bullet struck him below his right kidney and exited is right side. Maculewicz rushed to his aid to treat his injury and ensure he was safely evacuated from the battlefield. Maculewicz didn't expect to see Malik again, but the two reunited here, June 11, when Malik sought out the corpsman to thank him for saving his life.
