    JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. - Spc. Alain F. Mvogo, 21, of Colorado Springs, Colo., was presented the Army Commendation with Valor at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., March 25.

    His actions as a combat medic included many instances during his nine-month deployment where his quick thinking and actions, while conducting treatment and casualty evacuation on multiple wounded soldiers, resulted in saving the lives of his comrades.
