U.S. Army Maj. Gen. James McConville, commanding general, Combined Joint Task Force-101, Regional Command East, and the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) congratulates Dr. (Maj.) Kelly Lesperance, general surgeon, 759th Forward Surgical Team (Airborne), Oct. 10, 2013, for the work she and her fellow soldiers did to save the life of a soldier who had been severely injured during a recent rocket attack here on Forward Operating Base Fenty by the enemies of Afghanistan. A rocket landed near the soldier, critically injuring him. After a total of eight hours of surgery and approximately 100 units of blood products, Lesperance, a native of Pensacola, Fla., and her team were able to save the soldier’s life. The soldier is now back in the United States, where he is receiving further medical treatment. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Staff Sgt.
