A student, and at one time a teacher at the USMA. In 2003 as commander of the 101st Abn Div was the first time that he was involved in combat
Below is a list of awards and decorations that he's received, the one I have a question about is his Bronze Star with "V" Device. The medal may be awarded for Valor (i.e. courage under fire), in which case it is accompanied with an attached V. So when exactly was he under fire, and what act of valor did he perform?
