B-roll taken from the award ceremony hel for Sgt. Zachary Reese, a Bakersfield, Calif. native currently assigned to the 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, based at Fort Knox, Ky.
Reese was awarded the Silver Star Medal, the third-highest combat award a U.S. serviceman can receive, for his heroics in Afghanistan.
While on a reconaissance patrol in 2009, Reese observed a large group of enemy fighters approaching his unit that day and reported the enemy force to his superiors. His unit was then able to take precautions and set up a hasty ambush with just enough time to deal with the threat. Several enemy fighters died where they stood because of Reese’s actions, but that didn’t end his involvement. After the firefight, he went back and searched the enemy dead. An enemy fighter feigning death lunged at him, but Reese was able to use his knife to dispatch the enemy.
