On 8 April, 2004, while patrolling Highway One; Baghdad, Iraq;  Spc. Jonathan Kephart and his squad were ordered to move to the location of another patrol that had been ambushed and had an immobilized vehicle. While in route, they were greatly outnumbered by enemy forces on both sides of the road, and then a roadblock forced them to turn back in the middle of the ambush. Even after being shot twice in the shoulder Jonathan laid down heavy accurate fire, keeping the enemy pinned down while his squad drove out of the ambush. Only after a rocket propelled grenade hit his vehicle did Jonathan stop firing, his wounds too grievous for him to continue. In the words of CPT David C. Beaman, Jonathan died a hero.

In the history of this great nation, we have heard this story many times as brave young men and women fight to preserve our freedom. We are proud of each of them and are proud to be called Americans. But, how does a family deal with such news? Proven in Battle is a real story about real heroes, real bravery, real grief, and a real faith that sustained the Kephart family during such a tragic loss.
