    Spc. Samantha Romero, combat medic assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Special Troops Battalion, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, shows Rafi his new Chemlite mobile, handmade by 'Raider' medics at the Camp Nathan Smith Medical Aid Station Sept. 15, 2010. Shortly after she arrived in Afghanistan, Romero, a native of Madison, Wis., was working night shift at the Camp Nathan Smith medical clinic when a local family came into the clinic seeking care for their young son, Rafi, who was suffering from a rare congenital heart condition called transposition of the great arteries. After giving birth to her son and undergoing a double mastectomy, Romero waived reconstructive surgery, as well as postpartum recovery in order to deploy with her unit.
