In 2015, he was looking through photos from the War on Terror when he saw Bill’s brush with death and decided to write to him, to find out more about his life since that day in Garmsir in May 2008. After publishing the first interview with Bill, they continued collaborating and pieces until the book on The Shot became a reality. https://www.sgtbillbee.com/articles-and-media-appearances daily 0.75 2022-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/1642524822560-SZLGJ23R7VFM06BKABVU/Capture.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/1642527460254-D4HUV4QKFX39UCS30SLY/2F3FA7D100000578-3360338-image-a-28_1450153052297.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/1642527789445-2HXHUVBL4ADZW5MKBLGL/Purple+Heart+at+Wounded+Warrior+Bn+1.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/1642528055713-R8L9ZEL440K5HIYRHHEW/Bobbie+and+I+2.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/1642528550307-V6XMVHM4C7MYUNNPZAAI/2F60A89E00000578-3360338-Sergeant_Bee_is_CASEVAC_d_out_of_the_area_after_he_was_caught_up-a-1_1450312592236.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/1642528873982-RBA4IZC06LT3NVHQANSW/7913748-6537001-image-a-4_1546433646756.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/1642529189724-6ADRYTNZUH55QBYM4LGH/image_6483441+%288%29.JPG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/1642529413877-13YX7LF2U0CBFA2LNG2M/Butler%2C+Matt%2C+Me%2C+Weckman+in+Marjah+Apr+2010.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/1642529660738-EHB546SNUOEN9KU1A6FM/image_6487327+%284%29.JPG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/1653941761849-167CITSPZK3ZJNWKJVB6/Bobbie+and+I+%281%29.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/1653942093779-M8K4K2S5PYYAMTOIM1LQ/_MG_2638.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/1660412881019-MTZ6R4MUF2AN4SHPUG4G/BeeDMTV.PNG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/1660413233007-H3EJJXRD57NX4JNP16HJ/RTR228NU.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/1663063293338-S5108KRASRD172YQFLUX/JFO+Op+Lowland+Fury+w+Canadians+2.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/5933f170-486e-46d9-afc3-96b8a8f396f8/Bill+on+radio.PNG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/cdee157e-b716-413c-8679-c6bfe81caddc/Coffee+or+die.PNG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/5fc1b23f-8153-4c15-b139-f2db193abf0f/_MG_2638.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/d271de53-6166-459f-b035-8dfcc0bfd22e/RTX5VBA.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/5f3a3e99-96da-4b32-9779-71dbaaa06df9/Point+of+Spear.PNG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/ba12b2a4-23ca-4c44-ae77-bd772fd453e5/Real+Clear+Defense.PNG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/580554da-a1d2-4c25-8aae-30e76ab5d09a/American+Warrior+Radio.PNG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/a8c0ce57-9c91-4854-8bc1-0d63954fe4be/image_6483441+%282%29.JPG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/e04a3752-d7eb-4dad-b7b2-3f2936a92ed5/image_6483441+%285%29.JPG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/8a4de213-ca97-4b2f-a329-5e9dd7f840ff/image_6487327+%281%29.JPG Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/ec2f25d5-c56f-4252-a0a3-30367a4b448a/Steve+V+and+Me.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/4d55e4eb-5ddd-482d-a20e-5ff0dc3bf1d1/2F3A580B00000578-3360338-The_family_lives_in_Jacksonville_North_Carolina_and_they_struggl-a-1_1450219514883.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/923b8b42-a304-4663-89f4-9c3242c85490/Young+Marine+Bill.PNG Media https://www.sgtbillbee.com/home daily 1.0 2022-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/07f00979-cacd-481f-a222-58da9a46c3a1/Cover+PNG.PNG Home - THE SHOT The Harrowing Journey of a Marine in The War on Terror by Bill Bee and Wills Robinson Available at most bookstores https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/a69728d4-b1d5-46af-af93-af34552e8c17/The+Shot+photo.jpg Home Sgt.

He wasn’t wearing a helmet or Kevlar vest when a Taliban sniper round hit a wall inches from his head in Helmand Province, Afghanistan in 2008. The terrifying moment he reeled back and collapsed to the floor when the bullet hit the sandbank and a cloud of dirt and stone burst inches in front of his face was captured by Reuter’s photographer Goran Tomsevic, broadcast on TV networks and published in newspapers around the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/c299aa7d-d595-4d7b-ae59-a40648f5119d/RTR228NU.jpg About Bill Bee - THE SHOT The Pentagon rushed to share the photo as a show of bravery and valor among US troops at a time when public support for the war was at its lowest point. To this day it is still used to portray the sacrifice made every day by heroes during the United States’ longest war. But the story of the man in the image has never been told. To his fellow Marines, Bee is just the “dumbass who wasn’t wearing his gear,” in one of the most dangerous places on earth, the town of Garmsir in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, but for many others he signifies the ultimate patriot who acted selflessly and recklessly to protect the lives of his fellow Marines in the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Alpha Company. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d1f73ececf25016d4b0530/f657c128-2c21-4fd2-8b7a-eba4d25e55db/RTX5VBA.jpg About Bill Bee - THE PHOTOS For Sergeant Bee it was a moment where he almost lost everything - his wife Bobbie, his unborn son Ethan, his friends and the military career he’d worked so hard for since signing up a few months before 9/11. As he lay on the floor with bullets flying around him, Bobbie felt a sudden jolt that something horrible had happened and went into false labor with their unborn son Ethan. Sergeant Bee’s life changed forever when he was thrust into the limelight. He had come a long way from the trailer parks and cornfields in rust belt Wooster, Ohio where he spent his childhood choosing whether to devote his life to God and become a pastor or follow his World War II Veteran grandfather and cousins to fight for his country. https://www.sgtbillbee.com/gallery daily 0.75 2022-02-12
