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 shake each other’s hands at Camp Shorabak, Helmand Province, Afghanistan, June 15. Maculewicz provided life-saving measures to Malik, a MSF medic, during a recent operation in Sangin, where Afghan National Security Forces cleared Taliban from one of Afghanistan's more volatile districts. Malik and another ANA medic were en route to pick up a fallen soldier when Malik was wounded by an enemy round that struck him below his right kidney. Maculewicz didn't think he would see Malik again after the medical evacuation helicopter took him from the battlefield, but the two reunited here, June 11, when Malik sought out the corpsman to thank him for saving his life.
