This night our men had a frolick, a drunken one, and were at a loss to find where or how they got the whiskey because in the morning every man was searched and all the whiskey emptied out. After some time it was discovered that they had filled their gun barrels with whiskey and had the vent stopped up with a little plug made of hickory wood and a tomkin of cork in the muzzle.

— Diary of Colonel George McFeely, 22nd and 25th U.S. Infantries, quoted in The War of 1812 in Person: Fifteen Accounts by United States Army Regulars, Volunteers and Militiamen, edited by John C. Fredriksen.

An illustration by Bryan Fosten in The American War 1812–14. From left to right: Sergeant, US Light Artillery, 1812; Corporal, Pioneers, 25th Inf. Regt., 1814; Sergeant, 22nd US Infantry Regt., 1813.

In one of the most famous photographs from the war in Iraq and still gripping his 9mm Beretta, a seriously injured 1st Sgt. Brad Kasal is carried from the “Hell House” by Lcpl Chris Marquez and Lcpl Dane Shaffer on November 13, 2004.

1st Sgt. Kasal lost much of his blood and nearly lost his right leg after being shot seven times by insurgents. His body was peppered with shrapnel as he used his body to shield an injured younger Marine, PFC Alex Nicoll, from a grenade blast.

For his heroic actions that day while serving as first sergeant of Weapons Company, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines, Brad Kasal received the Navy Cross.
