Someone You Kinda Know

| December 22, 2010

Yesterday in a very small combat outpost in Afghanistan the theater commander took time to pin a Bronze Star W/V Device and Purple Heart on a young NCO that I know very well; like the day he was born!

Merry Christmas all. While neither of mine can be home this year, this photo made my holidays.
