Hugh Jr received the Bronze Star for Valor before leaving Afghanistan to return to Ft. Richardson in Alaska. Made it through a year over there safely.

Ed,
That was his second trip, the first was a year in Iraq, where he was also recommended for a Bronze Star.

Pitsword,
His unit is the 725th Medical Support Battalion, Airborne.
