John Kelly, who was then serving his third tour in Iraq as the deputy commanding general for I Marine Expeditionary Force and who traveled to Ramadi the next day to interview Iraqi police who had witnessed the attack, we know what happened.  Kelly said that it probably took about a second for Jordan and Jonathan Yale to understand that a suicide truck carrying 2,000 pounds of explosives was heading their way. “It took maybe another two seconds for them to present their weapons, take aim, and open up,” Kelly said. “By this time, the truck was halfway through the barriers and gaining speed.”  While some Iraqi police tried shooting at the vehicle to stop it, all of them scattered for safety when the truck kept on coming.  But Jordan Haerter and Jonathan Yale did not stop. They stood their ground, firing their weapons nonstop.

Haerter and Yale never stepped back, Kelly said. “They never even shifted their weight. With their feet spread shoulder-width apart, they leaned into the danger, firing as fast as they could.”  Six seconds after entering the alleyway, the truck exploded, just short of its target.  The Iraqi police who had fled told Lt.
