The bullets hit the chest plate of his body armor and knocked the wind out of him, sending bullet fragments into his legs. Still, Gilboe managed to wrestle the enemy soldier to the ground. “I got on top of him — his barrel was obviously hot because he’d just dumped a whole magazine — and I drove the AK-47 into his face,” he said. “When I did that, he let go of the gun. I tried to use it, but it jammed up or was out of bullets, so I held him down.” Another soldier then shot the enemy fighter. Timothy Gilboe remembers looking into the eyes of the man as he died.
