This is Jon's tank after it hit an IED in the summer of 2005. He was not in the tank at the time, and his crew got out safely. They had hit other mines without serious damage, especially in 2003-2004 when they were in Anbar Province. The insurgents started to "daisy-chain" artillery shells together and that's what possibly destroyed this Abrams. The fuel cell was ruptured and the tank was incinerated. I gave Jon a Canon 510 before he left for this second tour and he had a buddy snap this shot.
