New Jersey Air National Guard Tech. Sgt. Michael Sears, left, was honored at an awards ceremony at the State House in Trenton, N.J., April 17, 2013. Brig. Gen. Michael L. Cunniff, center, the adjutant general, presented Sears the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart held by Spc. Giuli Iommazzo. On a single combat patrol in Afghanistan, Sears, an explosive ordnance disposal technician with the 177th Fighter Wing, defused two improvised explosive devices and made five trips across open terrain under heavy enemy fire to aid a wounded coalition soldier and to engage insurgent forces. Sears suffered shoulder injury and expended more than 190 rounds from his M4 rifle during the firefight. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt. Mark C. Olsen/Released)
