A Bronze Star has gone to A1C Kevin Ingerick from Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, for his quick life-saving actions during a convoy mission in Iraq. While under enemy fire, Ingerick helped US forces kill six insurgents and pulled a driver from a burning vehicle, reports KTVB News Channel 7. He remarked during the ceremony that after the attack he felt he “should have been really scared, but you just don’t have time to think about it.”
The U.S. military is maintaining a beefed-up presence in the Middle East, including fighters and air defense assets, following the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities June 22 and subsequent retaliation by the Iranians against Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
