- Nathan_Sassaman abstract "Nathan Sassaman (b. 1963 or 1964) is a retired United States Army officer and the author of the 2008 book Warrior King (with Joe Layden) about his experiences in the Iraq War.Raised in Portland, Oregon, Sassaman was an A student and the son of a Methodist minister who earned appointments to both West Point and the Air Force Academy, and was also recruited by Princeton. Choosing to attend the United States Military Academy, he captained and played quarterback on Army's football team in the 1984 season, in which he helped the team achieve one of its best recent records, exceeding all expectations with an 8-3-1 record. In a heralded victory in the annual Army-Navy Game, Sassaman ran for 154 yards and two touchdowns, and later led Army to a rare post-season appearance with a win over Michigan State in the Cherry Bowl, and reportedly, for much of that 1984 season, Sassaman played with three cracked ribs.Long after his 1985 graduation from West Point, he served in Iraq as commander of the Fourth Infantry Division's 1-8 Battalion in 2003-2004 as a Lieutenant Colonel. Colonel Sassaman was awarded a Bronze Star Medal with 'V' for VALOR device, which he earned for his actions when his patrol came under attack in August 2003. In this engagement, Colonel Sassaman had defied heavy machine-gun and R.P.G. fire to drag one of his wounded soldiers from his vehicle, after which he then chased down the Iraqi insurgents and killed them. At that time, aged 40, Sassaman was considered to be "the most impressive American field commander in Iraq." An incident in which some of his troops forced two Iraqi civilian detainees to jump into the Tigris River, one of whom allegedly drowned, led to a reprimand which then effectively ended his military career and he retired in 2005.Colonel Strassman is a recipient of the Bronze Star Medal with 'V' for VALOR device; the Defense Meritorious Service Medal; the Meritorious Service Medal with 2 Oak Leaf Clusters; the Joint Service Commendation Medal; the Army Commendation Medal with 2 Oak Leaf Clusters; the Army Achievement Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster and is entitled to wear the Combat Infantryman Badge, the Ranger tab and Army Parachutist Wings.He is married to Marilyn Sassaman and they have two children, Nathan and Nicole. They live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Nathan is currently working as Quarterbacks Coach for Widener University.".
