1st Lt. David A. Moran (left) recites the oath of office given by Lt. Col. Brett A. Bourne (right) during his promotion ceremony at the site where his brother was hit by an improvised explosive device May 26. "I decided to get promoted at that intersection because that's where my brother, Daniel, was hit," David said. "He was on a night patrol with an Army IED sweeping team and while he was on that mission he was hit by a catastrophic IED. In that attack, his driver, his gunner, and his radio operator were killed. My brother and the vehicle commander survived."
