    Maj. Gen. Stephen R. Lanza (center), 7th Infantry Division commanding general, presents Sgt. Larry Blais with a Bayonet Soldier of the Month certificate and commanders coin Aug. 2, while Command Sgt. Maj. Delbert Byers, the division’s command sergeant major, looks on. Blais was recognized for his actions on May 5, 2013. Blais, a noncommissioned officer with the 5th Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, was performing a barracks inspection with his soldiers when he noticed a soldier who was severely intoxicated. After assessing the situation, the Lewiston, Maine, native rushed the soldier to the hospital for immediate medical attention. Blais said he was "just doing what a leader should be" doing, by performing barracks inspections, and said soldiers should continue to check on and take care of one another.
