Cpl. Edward Helzer, a native of Laredo, Texas, receives the Army Commendation Medal on Feb. 9. While serving with the 836th Engineer Company, 890th Engineer Battalion, 225th Engineer Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, Multi-National Division – Baghdad, his quick thinking led to the discovery and disposal of a roadside bomb. "Military training and experience kicked in and it was like second nature. You see something suspicious and you interrogate it. If you're lucky, it turns out be a positive IED [improvised explosive device] find, and we've managed to intercept the insurgents before any damage can occur," said Helzer.
