A ten-foot long red rope discretely draped along a mud wall in the back alley of the rural Afghan town of Sangeray in the violent Kandahar Province.
Instinctively, Lt. Corry Donohoo, of the 1-502 101st Airborne Division, knew there was an IED near by – and feared it could be a big one.
“That is definitely the kind of stuff you are looking for,” the West Virginia native explained while pointing to the red ribbon. “The Taliban set the rope there as a marker for their fighters.”
After setting a small amount of C4 explosives to check for an IED, Lt. Donohoo decided to lead his soldiers to the West of the ribbon.
No IED this time.

If you want to be successful at anything, you'll need to develop a never quit attitude. Don't let life happen to you. Grab it by the throat and make life dance to your tune.
