Veterans of Bravo Company Receive Bronze Medals 56 Years After Combat
More than half a century later, 14 soldiers of Bravo Company were formally awarded Bronze Star Medals for their actions in Vietnam's Central Highlands.
For over two years, the men of Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division, engaged in near constant battle in the jungles of Vietnam's Central Highlands. They participated in multiple campaigns, including Operation Sam Houston, Operation Francis Marion, and the 1968 Tet Offensive, and endured heavy combat in Pleiku and Kon Tum provinces.
The company's service in Vietnam, which began in early 1967, included 94 separate firefights. Now, more than half a century later, the 14 soldiers were formally awarded Bronze Star Medals by U.S. officials during a ceremony in Omaha, Nebraska, on September 18.
