U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Neil E. Nelson, chief of Combined Joint Logistics – Resolute Support Headquarters, addresses those in attendance after being awarded the prestigious U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Bronze Order of the de Fleury Medal for his more than 31 years of outstanding contributions to the joint engineering community during an award ceremony held at RS HQ in Kabul, June 15. The de Fleury Medal was established on October 1, 1779, by the Continental Congress in honor of François-Louis Teissèdre de Fleury, a French Engineer in the Continental Army. The award honored de Fleury’s bravery and heroism most notably during the Battle of Stony Point that took place on July 16, 1779, during the American Revolutionary War. (Photo by U.S. Army Staff Sgt.
