    The 75th Ranger Regiment

    Gen. Daniel B. Allyn, Vice Chief of Staff of the United States Army, presents the Nation's third highest award, the Silver Star, to Staff Sgt. James B. Jones for his heroic actions in support of Operations Enduring Freedom on Hunter Army Airfield, Savannah, Ga., April 29, 2015. Jones maneuvered on multiple enemy fighting positions over a sustained six hour direct fire engagement resulting in over 25 enemy combatants killed. With no regard to personal safety, Jones placed himself in direct fire and imminent danger in order to move a wounded Ranger behind cover. Jones undoubtedly saved the lives of numerous Rangers and directly contributed to the success of the Joint Task Force. (U.S. Army photo by Pfc. Eric W.
