Steven Gonzalez was a sergeant first class in the Army Reserve in March 2003 when his company received orders to invade Iraq. For the next twelve months, Gonzalez and his unit would mostly convoy escorts, set up checkpoints, and provide security around the perimeter of Tallil Air Base near Nasiriyah, Iraq.
