Marines until 2014. And after boot camp was sent to Hawaii before shipping out. Afghanistan. It was there he would meet his mentor. His squad leader.
Here's Tom. to tell the rest of this story. What was a lot different about my experience than most was my squad leader. Uh He had been on Three deployments to Iraq and actually extended to go on this deployment to Afghanistan with us. And He was one of those people that was just Down to his bones, he was a warrior.
Like in past lives, that dude was. a champion gladiator in Roman coliseums. It was An incredible kind of innate type of thing, like, not just. Like a Mike Tyson capability to knock anybody out because you've got that much fury in you. It was.
It was like somebody that just You tell them the rules of chess once and then they take down deep blue. He was just naturally a tactician, could make up. Extensions to standing tactics that would actually replace standing tactics. And even won a uh a Navy Marine Corps Achievement Medal in one of our training ops for the most creative and Effective leadership that they'd seen on one of the ranges that every unit in the Marine Corps has to go through before they deploy. He was just a very different type of person, very different warrior, and His mindset was truly about being warriors.
You know, like if you If you messed up or something. Yeah, you might get punched in the face. but there wouldn't be any paperwork, and there wouldn't be any grudges. You would dust yourself off. recognize that you just made a big mistake and you don't want to get punched like that again.
And you move forward. And on top of that, Reitzman had been through, his first deployment was to Haditha. in Iraq in two thousand six and That was an extremely bloody battle. Just A lot of Marines were killed. And as a first deployment boot within I think his first month or two in country He was a squad leader because his team leader got killed.
He assumed the team, like leadership of the team, because he just naturally knew what to do. He was just that type of Natural leader. But because he had seen so much Death at the r at the hands of really just not being prepared, you know, like some units were not. ready for the kind of house to house warfare that Haditha had to offer. Because it was still fairly new, like we hadn't fought that way very many times, at least, not in a very long time.
So he had an extremely strong emphasis on our training as. as room clearing Masters.
So There was one of the other condemned barracks that this one was actually like barracks rooms and stuff that we. Snuck away into? I don't remember exactly how, but we found our way in. And we spent Probably two straight weeks in there. Just every day going back and using broomsticks as fake guns because we couldn't check them out of the armory for personal one-on-one training.
And we spent every day clearing rooms. Like, other squad leaders might have been giving their guys classes and stuff and giving them some kind of information, but. Reitzman was drilling Like. muscle memory that would save us into us just nonstop. He trained us to be the Beast Squad.
Early on he told us during PT one day, like we may not be the smartest squad, but by God, we're gonna be the strongest. And throughout training, we proved ourselves repeatedly that we were the strongest, but we were also one of the smartest, too. And so when we got to Afghanistan, We were there to do the dirtiest missions. That's what we were there for, and that's what we had trained to do because. You know, just like my mentality of like, why join the Marines if I'm not going to join to fight?
Reitzman's mentality was: why go to war if we're not going to go be the best and fight the hardest? And all of us loved it. You know, it was our. He was our captain Ahab that we were ready to follow into hell. Um So In May of twenty ten, we deployed to Helmand, Afghanistan.
It's in the southern area of Afghanistan, right near the Pakistani border. It's a very rural area and it's very uh It's very open and desert-like in some areas. It's it's a very interesting looking uh kind of Geography. And I remember when we first got to one of the bigger bases and stepped off of the cargo plane. I just remember the shock of stepping out into the Afghan air.
Like, it's so dry and dusty, but it was so hot. And then we went and got on this little bus thing in groups of like eight or ten, or however many it could hold. you know, with our full packs in our laps and body armor on, weapons strapped across us and everything. I was sitting in this tiny little seat, squashed in next to another marine. And the driver cuts on the bus, and there's no AC, so we're just cooking.
And the song that comes on is uh I Love College by Asher Roth. You know, if anybody hasn't heard it, the whole song is about like partying and just having fun and screwing around in college. And I just remember sitting there thinking like It is May of twenty ten. Had I stayed in school and like followed a four-year d program, I would be graduating sometime this month, but instead this is where I'm at. Listening to Asher Roth in Afghanistan.
Anyway, so you know, we spent a week or two at the bigger base until they had flights and stuff lined up for us to be able to get to our area of operations. When we finally got there, you know, we landed a bigger base near the one that we were gonna live on and we had to patrol to our base. I remember walking down the street, just looking around, and like all the buildings are made out of mud. Just thinking like It looked like biblical times. with tractors, Toyota Corollas, and cell phones added in.
And it was just so mind-blowing to look around, and you know, I'm sure it was pretty easy to tell that I was new because I'm walking around with my mouth open, staring at everything, but. You know, also my uniform is nice and clean and stuff and I remember walking down the road and this little Afghan kid walks up to me and is like, Hey, I'm like uh what? No, he's like, nah, you knew. And I was like, How do you how do you know that I'm new? And he like grabs my sleeve and rubs it between his fingers and kinda then points at the guy next to me and he's filthy.
And he's like Nice, clean. And I was like, All right, so uh where'd you learn English? And he just immediately pretends that he's holding a a radio and says. C O G, C O G, this post three, I need an M R Em Obviously just copying what he had heard Marines saying on post over and over, and these kids would just sit at the base of our guys' posts and listen to them talk to each other and over the radio and pick up English from context. Which is an incredible feat if you think about it, especially for.
little seven, eight year old kid.
So, you know, that was a really mind-blowing kind of thing, just walking in, but. Yeah, that whole hike I remember being just tense as I could be. But really one of the most impactful things that happened on that deployment and what's ever happened to me was uh Reisman's deaf. And you've been listening to Tom Morton tell his story. About his mentor, inquired.
and the relationship between them. What he learned from him. And by the way, his mentor three deployments in Iraq down to his bones in his DNA. He was a gladiator. It was just an innate thing.
By the way, Haditha one of his assignments, his mentors' assignments in Iraq. was a really brutal first deployment. His leader had been killed. and he ended up just leading his unit, 'cause that's what he did. By the way, Room clearing masters is what he was trying to create, his mentor in Iraq.
And if anybody knows anything about war, this was not Vietnam, it was urban warfare, and a whole new skill set was necessary. When we come back, more of the story, we pick up where we last left off in Afghanistan. Tom Morton tells the story of his mentor here. on our American store.

When we last left off, Tom had been deployed to the Helmand province of Afghanistan, and things were about to take a nasty turn. Let's continue with the story. Our platoon was given a. Order that we were going to send a squad out across the Hellman River to investigate cave systems in the mountains on the other side. Reitzman immediately.
volunteered us for it and We loaded down really, really heavy 'cause we were expecting to Go into the caves and have a serious fight on our hands.
So we had rockets and everybody had a few extra grenades and. lot of extra ammo. And we left early morning and hiked way out towards the river and um We uh finally got to the point where we kind of had to cross and uh I remember Reisman openly saying, like, you know, even though. Your point man usually does anything before anyone else. Like, he's the point man.
He walks out point. And, um, Reisman told our point man to Stay where he was. And He said like if anybody's gonna drown it's gonna be me.
So he went into the river and He actually made it all the way across. Like it was. It was up to about chest height, but in a pretty fast-moving river. But anyway, once he made it. Most of the way across, he told us to start crossing.
Um Like right downriver from me, our interpreter started crossing and one of our Afghan policemen. Um as they were crossing they uh lost their footing and Even though Reitzman knew that me and Shaw, our point man, were both strong swimmers. He wasn't going to tell either of us to risk ourselves and go try and grab the interpreter and the Afghan policeman.
So he came back into the water from safety and went after them. And pretty quickly lost his footing as well.
So the rest of us all went in after Reitzman and I was about six feet away from him when he went under. Uh I wasn't able to find him. He came back up one more time after that. And then went back under and He wasn't found for three more days. Um the uh the Afghan policeman that he had gone after.
drowned as well. Mm-hmm. I didn't realize until after that uh he was drowning when I swam past him because At the time, I was focused on getting a rightsman, and our Afghan police would go swimming all the time in the river out in front of our. Yeah. But uh He drowned.
as well right next to me. The problem then was, what do we do?
So they sent. two helicopters to come and pick us up and they were supposed to uh you know, one covers the other while one drops down, picks up half the squad and moves us to the opposite side of the river. and then comes back for the rest of us. I was in the second group and when they landed to come pick us up the uh the helicopter broke down. and they couldn't get it back off the ground.
They decided to leave. Like the other helicopter dropped and picked up the The chopper crew from the one that was dead, but They left us there.
So then we were down to six of us on one side of the river. not only like alone, dehydrated and just lost our squad leader, but We are also going to be expected to defend a downed helicopter that the enemy would absolutely love to take over. That was a daunting moment. And I remember there was a moment where the eye in the sky, like the little Camera on a giant pole that can see a couple of miles out. It's called Scan Eagle.
They came over the radio and said that Scan Eagle had seen a platoon-sized element moving towards us on our side of the river. and we needed to prepare for a fight.
So Staff Sergeant Curtis came around and Well man to man because you know we're all spread out like holding a perimeter as best we could and went to each of us and I remember what he told me it was uh There's a platoon size element coming towards us. If you got any grenades, have them out and ready. Have your ammo out and handy. Die like a man. And that's so much to internalize as a 21-year-old kid that just watched your mentor die.
But I also remember just thinking Alright. Fine. They want to do this, I'm ready. Let's do this. I just remember completely resigning myself to, like, okay, I'm gonna die, but I'm gonna die in a pile of brass.
And then about an hour later, we see something on the hilltop, and we're like, wow, they're. openly exposing themselves, that's dumb. And it turns out that the platoon-sized element that they had told us was coming was actually a herd of sheep. And in a crazy way that was kind of disappointing. Like I had completely accepted that I was about to die and It was kind of taken away all of a sudden.
They helicoptered out another, like a whole platoon to. take over our positions and start searching. But you know from running out of water for huge chunks of time we had resorted to drinking the Hellman River and it's incredibly infectious.
So by the time we made it an hour or so into the hike home. We were Essentially, combat ineffective at that point. Like, we were so undermanned and just. beat up that We weren't capable of defending ourselves if we got attacked.
So. We stayed put, waiting on another squad to be able to come to us with food and water. Basically, we were just going to take over the the cornfield that we were in. And I remember Staff Sergeant Curtis told me to go and Set up on the road, and I jumped into this ditch trying to lay on my belly on one side to put my gun on the road and actually be ready to fight. But when I dropped in, my legs caved out from under me and I just dropped to my back.
Couldn't bring myself to stand back up and actually lean forward, so I just kind of laid on my back looking around in case I needed to stand up and fight. And this old man came out. from the compound that I was sitting in front of and I remember him sit standing and looking at me for a good ten, fifteen seconds before he said anything and I could tell like he didn't see A foreign warrior coming into his land or anything, like he saw a 21-year-old kid dying in his lawn. And so he asked me, like, Ubo Kwade, like, do you want water? And I said yes, like whoa, which is yes and so he brought me a big like mixing bowl of water from his well and I probably spilled mo like three quarters of it on myself trying to drink it.
Just 'cause I was so f so thirsty I just poured it down my throat. And he asked me if I wanted more, and I said yes. And he got me three bowls of water, and then. I'm I'm pretty sure he went and did the same thing for the other guys elsewhere on his on his property. But He told us that we could stay.
And that we could use a building on his property if we needed it. And I found out later on that what he actually enacted there was a Muslim tradition called Loke War Kawal. Which Basically, it means once an elder has accepted you into their home. By like rule of honor, no one can remove you until the elder says that they can or that you are no longer their guest. And so taking a risk with his entire family, his land, his life.
That man said that we were protected on his property. until we were capable of leaving. Then we got to go and patrol all the way home after that day. But uh That day was by far the worst day of my life. And you've been listening to Tom Morton tell the story of his time served in Afghanistan.
and also of the harrowing scene where he watches his mentor, Die trying to save the life. of one of the de facto members of his squad. And that's an Afghani interpreter. When we come back, more of this remarkable storytelling, a story about war. A story about the US Marine Corps, about brotherhood and mentorship.

When we last left off, Tom had just experienced the worst day of his life. He lost his mentor and an Afghani police officer to drowning in the Helmand River.
and ended up exhausted and unable to move properly due to dehydration on the lawn of an Afghani civilian who would render him aid. Let's continue with the story. Mm.
Something that's always stood out to me about that day, that elder, you know, treating me like a human being and not looking at it as. Whatever, screw him, he's. He's here to do whatever propaganda that he might have been fed, like. His humanity trumping danger to him, his family, you know, going against Potentially his religious practices or whatever by letting Christians or non-believers into his property.
So many vets come home just full of hate. You know, you want to place it somewhere. You want to be angry at someone for. for losing your friends, for for losing time, for having You know, physical ailments and nightmares and stuff, you need a scapegoat. You want someone to put it on, and unfortunately, a lot of times that gets put on.
the Islamic community as a whole by a lot of veterans, but I've just never been able to do that because I've seen that it doesn't matter what religion you are, what race you are, there's good people in every culture too. Um Like I said, as horrible as that day was, that was a very profound experience and lesson for me. Like the day that Reitzman Died in the River was by far my wor the worst day of my life. But after that what I tried to take from it was Something I would tell my junior Marines that I was training on the following two deployments was. Life in the Marine Corps is about setting bars.
You know, you have. You have a day in boot camp where you get IT'd for an hour and a half straight, and that's the worst day of your life. Then you go to school of infantry and you go on a 15k that's actually 24k and that's the worst day of your life. And then you come to the fleet and you spend 24 straight hours scrubbing with Clorox, and that's the worst day of your life. But eventually, that day will be set so horribly.
that nothing could bother you anymore. And As unfortunate as it is, one of the most beneficial things I've been able to glean from the The horrible day of losing my mentor was the fact that I survived. I can survive something that extreme. And even though it It was a very Hard thing to deal with. I did make it through.
So if I can survive something like that, if I can still be standing and still have some of my brain together some days. What can the civilian world throw at me that I can't deal with? You know, that's what I try to keep in mind anytime I face some kind of a hardship or whatever. I've been through so much worse than this. I can deal with it.
Um You know, the part of that mental toughness is Some of it was rightsmen, some of it was the Marine Corps as a whole, just teaching me, like, you know.
Sometimes the situation sucks. There's nothing you can do but embrace the suck and push on. I actually left the service and uh Twenty fourteen and um I enrolled in school and tried to kinda, you know, just figure things out from there, but It took me a while to kind of get my bearings and went through a few different jobs and been through a lot of different uh professions over the years and I moved around a lot. Like I moved from Denver back to Nashville where I'm from, then to Savannah, Georgia, then back to Denver. I think a big Big thing that was kind of a problem for me is it took me a really long time to let go of the Marine Corps and like the guilt of feeling like I can do more.
I need to make up for something. I need to. need to go back and you know I don't know, the feelings of survivor's guilt, just feeling like I, you know, I should have died that day with Reitzman, so I need to go back and. die with honor so that I can do him right. You know that.
That was really nagging at me for a really long time because I never really I didn't Get out in my mind for a very long time. Like when I got out, I sought out. a motorcycle organization that They're all about, like, you know, you have to be a combat veteran to get in.
So I rode with them for a long time and. I just resigned my patch about six months ago when I realized that I just traded one uniform for another. Like, I never. let go of Any of those things that had happened because I was still reliving it every day because I was acting as though I was still. part of it, you know, I still thought about it as though like I you know, I want to stay in shape in case I get a chance to go back.
Like, but not thinking about it from the perspective of I need to stay in shape so that I don't keel over and die in my 40s. And it took a long time for me to finally realize that I had been framing things in a negative way for me, where I was. really just leaning into my My survivors' guilt issues and everything instead of trying to grow from them and move forward. But, um,. I finally kinda had that aha moment after a motorcycle accident and uh Yeah, nearly dying'll make you think about stuff.
And um I benefited a lot from spending time with other veterans to be able to kind of learn from them about how to get through things and stuff, but I also think that the most. beneficial part of the recovery from combat and stuff has been finding my own way, you know, like finding something that I really enjoy doing creatively that I want to expand on and For me, that's been uh I started out doing carpentry. I started apprenticing under one of my sister's friends that. He ended up becoming my best friend. He taught me everything I could ever want to know about building decks, fences, tree houses, and stuff, but he also taught me so much more about just oddball little tricks and stuff that Things that took him 20 years of being a carpenter to figure out that I got to leap straight into.
He had to spend. years just doing, you know, the same framing wall over and over every day. But um you know I got to Get to the fun stuff with him and I think spending every day with him and realizing that A combat mindset does not have a very applicable place in the civilian world, you know, like you. You really are never going to be facing the same stressors that you are in combat.
So the dark sense of humor and the. The crassness and the vulgar language and stuff is just they're attributes that fit very well in in a life or death kind of environment. They really don't in most others, and um. That can feel kind of Emptying, but uh, my friend Ben is the one that taught me that, like, there are other places that that can fit in, you know, there are other things for me, and there is. Stuff that I can do and feel passionate about.
And, like, you know, I really genuinely enjoy building stuff. Like, it. It's enormously gratifying to be able to leave from a day of work, and even if you're not done, just looking back, like, hey, this morning there was nothing.
Now there's the framework for a deck. It's very, very fulfilling and It's a very gratifying puzzle to work out. You know, every job is different, everything needs a little thought, a little caution. And I think that's helped me calm down enormously. Um Unfortunately, he uh he passed away about a month ago.
So That's been really hard for me. But overall, you know, like Okay. Learning to be creative and working with my hands has been a huge therapeutic tool for me. 'Cause just learning carpentry got me confident enough with tools to start doing stuff like working on my own bike and You know, being confident enough to realize, like, well, if I take it apart and I can't figure it out, all I have to do is just retrace my steps and put it back together. Worst that can happen is it don't work right, and then I try again.
And that led me into working on motorcycles, or my motorcycles, and I'm actually working towards eventually, I want to own my own custom motorcycle shop and build. custom bikes. Bikes for people that need special accommodations. Like I'd I'd love to build like, you know A specially outfitted bike for a veteran that lost their legs or something so that they can still ride. I just think that'd be something that would be really gratifying.
to to present it to the veteran but also it'd be really I'm I would be excited about the challenge of making a bike work without two of your limbs involved, 'cause they kinda need all four on a standard setup. Yeah, that's my my long-term dream, because it really has brought me so much peace just playing some, you know, calm, like melodic music in the garage and just sit there and wrench and work out a giant puzzle all day. Like even if it means throwing a wrench or two throughout the day, like it's still so awesome to be able to have something at the end that is like, wow I did that. Uh And a great job as always by Monty on the production of that piece and the storytelling. And a special thanks to Tom Morton, who shared stories about not one, but in the end, two mentors.
Because he had not just Sergeant Joe Reitzman to thank for so much. Sergeant Reitzman was his mentor and the man he watched drown in the Hellman River. But also Ben. his mentor who taught him about peace in civilian life. And, well, just the peace that can come from being a great craftsman.
and putting things together first. as a carpenter's apprentice, and now ultimately as a mechanic. On motorcycles, hoping to create a motorcycle that can do some good for former vets. The story of Tom Morton. Here on Our American Stories.
