A moment’s notice before the battle...

Photo below shows a 19-year-old U.S. soldier wearing pink 'I Love NY' boxer shorts and flip-flops after rushing from his sleeping quarters to join his fellow platoon members after they received fire from Taliban positions in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley.


Zachary Boyd had been asleep when the firefight erupted in the mountains of Afghanistan. So he only had time to put on his helmet, pink boxer shorts, flip-flops, body armor and grab his weapon and join his comrades.
