    Hoosier Guardsmen Receive Purple Hearts, Combat Action Badges

    Staff Sgt. Stephen Vance, an operations non-commissioned officer with the 76th Infantry Brigade Combat Team personnel security detail and La Porte, Ind., native, gets pinned with the Purple Heart Medal by Brig. Gen. Michael Lally, 3d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) commanding general, as a result of injuries sustained from an improvised explosive device attack. "When I was pinned with the Purple Heart, it was probably the most emotional day of my life," said Vance. "I'm really fortunate that this is one of the instances where this award wasn't given out posthumously."
