While
the rescue of POW
Army Pfc. Jessica
D. Lynch was ongoing,
other team members
were led to a burial
site containing
bodies they thought
might be American.
"They … did
not have shovels
in order to dig
those graves up,
so they dug them
up with their hands,"
Renuart said. "They
wanted to do that
very rapidly so
that they could
race the sun and
be off the site
before the sun came
up -- a great testament
to the will and
desire of coalition
forces to bring
their own home."
The team evacuated
the bodies, and
they were returned
to the United States
for forensic testing.
