Veteran
Dr. Bose, a former Major in the U.S. Army, served one of the longest combat deployments by a physician since World War II. During Operation Iraqi Freedom, Dr. Bose cared for thousands of wounded soldiers and Iraqi civilians. He provided front line emergency care during the peak of insurgencies in Baghdad and Najaf, and treated Saddam Hussein shortly after his capture. In addition, Dr. Bose was one of the only front line physicians in the Second Battle of Fallujah during the U.S. seizure of the city. When not on missions, Dr. Bose volunteered his free time by serving at the busiest trauma center in the world at that time, the Ibn Sina Hospital, Baghdad. For his service, he received Presidential recognition and earned several awards including the Bronze Star, The Combat Medical Badge, and The Army Commendation Medal.
Dr. Bose currently advocates to raise awareness and funding for wounded veterans and the families of fallen soldiers TheBattleContinues.org
