Amanda Marr looks on as her son, MacAiden Gallegos, receives his father’s Distinguished Service Cross from Col. Dave Zinn Saturday, Dec. 15, during a ceremony in the Frontier Theater on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. Staff Sgt. Justin Gallegos was initially awarded the Silver Star for his actions during the Battle of Kamdesh, Oct. 3, 2009, at Combat Outpost Keating in Afghanistan’s Nuristan Province. Through efforts by his former command team and members of Congress, the Distinguished Service Cross was presented to Gallegos’ 14-year-old son during the ceremony. Marr is MacAiden’s mother; Zinn is the current commander of the brigade combat team Gallegos served with in Afghanistan – originally the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, but now the 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division.
