Staff Sergeant J. Winkowski was among the Iowa soldiers deployed to Afghanistan in late 2010. In this clip, Winkowski, describes why he felt being a combat leader in Afghanistan was the job he was born to do, and the sacrifices made by the families of those who are deployed. This interview was captured during the production of Iowa Public Television's documentary “Iowa Soldiers Remember Afghanistan” featuring first-hand accounts from military and American citizens who were on the ground in Afghanistan.
