The Abu Sayyaf reinforced their comrades until Sobejana's unit was facing approximately 150 enemies. After two hours spent trading fire with the Moro insurgents, Sobejana sustained two bullet wounds to his right forearm; a third bullet wrecked his rifle. His arm was almost severed; he had to bite his right thumb to keep the arm from falling off. He then switched to firing left-handed while giving his men directions.[8] The firefight ended after four hours with Sobejana being wounded three more times.[9] He refused to have his arm amputated and underwent several surgical procedures in the United States.[7] He underwent initial surgery at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii; he would ultimately spend 10 months there, undergoing operations and reconstructive surgery. He was then transferred to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, where he underwent rehabilitation.[10] He recovered the use of his hand and arm and has remained in active service since then. For his actions he was conferred the Medal of Valor in 1996. Medal of Valor citationIsabela, Basilan - 13 January 1995
