173rd, 2-503 (INF) Airborne Chosen Company Soldiers Receive ARCOM with Valor Awards
A few days ago General Dan K McNeill, Commander of ISAF in Afghanistan visited our Soldiers in the Korengal Valley. While he was there he presented several medals to Soldiers. I was fortunate to have received the following photos of four Chosen Company Soldiers being awarded the Army Commendation Medal (ARCOM) with Valor.
Several other Soldiers from the 173rd received awards but I haven't gotten specifics on names or awards. I do know that there will be many awards given to the Sky Soldiers in the days, weeks and months to come. From all accounts the Sky Soldiers have engaged in untold numbers of acts of extraordinary heroism, valor and courage during this deployment. May God keep them safe until their return to their home bases in Europe later this summer.
