Green Beret Awarded Silver Star For Actions During Recent Battle In Afghanistan
Green Beret Awarded Silver Star For Actions During Recent Battle In Afghanistan
RE: By ADAM LINEHAN on February 13, 2017 RE: http://taskandpurpose.com/green-bere...n-afghanistan/ Sgt. 1st Class Brian Seidl earned the nation’s third highest award for valor during the Battle of Boz Qandahari. On Feb. 1, U.S. Army Green Beret Sgt. 1st Class Brian Seidl was presented the Silver Star, becoming the third member of his 59-man team to to be awarded the medal for actions during the Battle of Boz Qandahari, which began on the night of Nov. 2, 2016, and cost the lives of two of Seidl’s teammates. The battle was fought in a village surrounded by steep cliffs in Kunduz Province, Afghanistan. One team member later described the heavily fortified village as “something like a castle.” The team and its Afghan army counterparts arrived in the village after an hour trek through waist-high mud and were clearing compounds when they came under attack. Well done Sgt.
