Spc. Veronica Alfaro awarded the Bronze Star
Spc. Veronica Alfaro awarded the Bronze Star
Vice President Dick Cheney awarded Spc. Veronica Alfaro with the Bronze Star Tuesday, March 18, 2008, during a rally for U.S. troops at Balad Air Base, Iraq. "I can't describe the feeling I had when he awarded me the Bronze Star," said Alfaro, 2nd Platoon senior medic, Bravo Company. "It is definitely a moment I will always cherish; I will never forget it." Here is Spc. Alfaro's story. Alfaro, a combat medic and driver with Bravo Company, 297th Support Battalion, was confronted by heavily armed insurgents Jan. 15 when driving a gun truck as an escort to the civilian convoy on the main U.S. supply route between Baghdad and Balad, Iraq, the Guard said.Alfaro is from Modesto, Ca. The Bronze Star is the fourth highest award a servicemember can receive in combat for either valor or meritorious performances of duty.

Saw this last night
on the news. There was also a woman MP who was awarded the Silver Star about year and half ago. She was a reservist MP. The women in todays military are exposed more to combat this war then any other.
