CAMP LIBERTY, Iraq -- Several Soldiers from the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division's 2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment were recognized for their bravery and selfless service during a ceremony Oct. 25.
The Army Commendation Medal was awarded to Pfc. Jeffrey G. Morris for saving the life of an Iraqi citizen injured during a firefight. Acting on the skills he learned in the Army's Combat Lifesaver Course, Morris applied a pressure dressing and a tourniquet to the victim's leg to control the bleeding. His quick action kept the man alive until a medic arrived.
Pfc. James S. Carlson was awarded the Purple Heart Award for wounds received during action Sept. 5 when his vehicle was struck by an improvised explosive device. Carlson, a vehicle gunner, received shrapnel wounds to his face but climbed back into the turret to continue to cover his sector of fire. After getting medical attention and having the shrapnel removed from his face, he returned to duty the next day.
Several Soldiers were awarded the Combat Infantryman's Badge for participating in ground combat operations under hostile enemy fire.
The following Soldiers were awarded the CIB: Pvts. Timothy W. Simpson, Gary W. Leafty, Nicholas R. Cournoyer, Jose L. Carrera, James S. Carlson, and Mark D. Borotkanics Jr.; Pfcs. Frank J. Salazar, Michael D. Potts, Alex Martinez, Mernyll A. Manalo, Sofala Maiava Jr., Ronnie J. Cochran, and Roger D. Anderson; Spcs. Israel D. Martinez, Thomas A. Keller, Robert J. D"Agostino, and Brandon L. Beaver; and Sgt. 1st Class Juan Trevino.
Four Soldiers were also awarded the Army Achievement Medal for their technical and tactical expertise provided to their battalion: Pfcs. Stanley Jackson and Sofala Maiava; and Spcs. Christopher A. Shearer and Robert J. D"Agostino.
