There are still heroes among us. Kids need to idolize them rather than music, movie, and sports stars.
Congratulations to another of our outstanding servicemen!
Awesome courage under fire!
Airtight Case
And gives credit to the aircrew. THIS is a guy I’d follow.
Colonel, USAFR
wow. Kudos to the airmen above and below.
I believe he the the first Airman SINCE 9/11 to receive a second Silver Star.
Sad, but the AF tends not to award medals. Many deserve them though.
Sounds like he deserved it. That gunship aircrew did a heckof a job too.
Sgt. Case, I’m humbled to salute the same flag as you.
I know that the CIB (Combat Infantryman Badge) is an Army-only award but with the change in tactics and with stories like this, should not there be a military-wide award for those who are assigned to where they hear the bullet’s zip?
My late father was very proud of his WW2 & Korea CIBs and wanted recognition for the Medics who were denied such because they were not Infantry. If I am out-of-date, please inform me, but our current combat roles seem to deny those in other branches the earned honor invested in the CIB.
