Medical Airmen ready Soldiers for medal ceremony

January 4th, 2011
Working as gently as they could, medical Airmen from an intensive care and in-patient care unit helped ready two injured Soldiers for a Purple Heart ceremony Jan. 4.

The Soldiers of Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, were injured just days earlier in an improvised explosive device attack. They were on their way to train members of the 20th Iraqi army brigade when they were attacked near the city of Abu Sayada, 45 miles northeast of Baghdad.

Army Lt. Col. Robert Forte, the 2nd Advise and Assist Brigade, 25th Infantry Division deputy commander, presented the Purple Hearts to Army 1st Lt. Corey Bunch and Army Cpl. Paul Vanlinder.
