6 of 11 – To mark Veterans Day (11/11), TIME is sharing inspiring veterans stories every hour for 11 hours, some of which were submitted by readers on Instagram using #TIMEvets. “Moments before they emerged from the dust carrying Sgt Larry Rougle’s body, one of the troops with the 173rd Airborne nearby said: 'We have to go get the K.I.A.' I hadn’t yet connected the dots that the person who was killed in action was Sgt Rougle,” says photographer Lynsey Addario. “I knew that in the chaos of the ambush, there were three men down. As bullets pierced the narrow cedar trees around us, I had heard the call on the radio that three men had been hit, and heard that Wildcat was one of them. Wildcat was Rougle’s call sign… In the hours, days, and weeks before, Rougle was so alive, so strong and sturdy, and suddenly, he was lifeless, in a black, shiny, rubbery bag. I asked permission from his comrades to photograph, and they nodded yes. I was crying so hard, it was difficult to focus. Rougle’s mother didn’t even know her son had been killed. His fiancée didn’t know her husband to be was no more. The war seemed so futile in that very moment. Across a dusty ridgeline in the middle of nowhere, in Afghanistan, where so many foreign soldiers had died before the Americans arrived, and so many more probably would in years to come, the war had never seemed so close yet so incomprehensible all at once.” Photograph by Lynsey Addario (@lynseyaddario).
