    SANGIN DISTRICT, Helmand province, Islamic Republic of Afghanistan - Lance Cpl. Adam B. Kramvik, an assaultman for 3rd Platoon, Company B, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, sweeps for improvised explosive devices to protect the Marines in his squad during Operation Zapoonki Guzaroona in the Upper Sangin Valley, Afghanistan, May 23. “That is what I was most proud of knowing that we are getting all that stuff out of there. Finding any IED making material is potentially saving lives,” said Kramvik, a 2005 graduate of Shanely High School. “We pushed them back and did a lot of counterinsurgency during the three days.” Kramik, 24, is from Moorhead, Minn.
