You've got to read the sheer number of awards for valor (three MoH) for ONE battalion on ONE deployment. Also included 169 Purple Hearts! Unbelieveable.........

Folks, these people are the heroes our school kids should be learning about.

I've worked with Soldiers from the Herd who were on that deployment. Studs, every one of them.

For anyone unfamiliar with the Battle of Wanat, read up on it.

Absolutely agree with you on that.

I am very glad to read that SSG Pitts will be recognized. My heart goes out to all of those and their families who were impacted by that terrible day.
