Members of a special operations task force distinguished themselves with “exceptional heroism, valor and dedication†on a recent six-month deployment to Afghanistan, officials said last week.
For their efforts, the soldiers of Special Operations Task Force 102 received five Silver Star medals, seven Bronze Star medals with Valor devices, 15 Army Commendation medals with Valor devices and 21 Purple Hearts. The medals were presented last week at a ceremony attended by soldiers, family and friends at Fort Carson, Colo.
