Capt. Loree Filizer, acting director of operations for the 11th Intelligence Squadron at Hurlburt Field, Fla., received the Bronze Star for “actions leading to an airstrike” in June that killed a known enemy, according to Air Force Special Operations Command. At a Hurlburt ceremony, Filizer called the award a “really great honor,” but added that she was “being rewarded for the work that a lot of other people did.”
With no end to the government shutdown in sight, Airmen, Guardians, and defense civilians face increasing uncertainty about whether or not they will be paid—and how to make ends meet if they are not.
