Reg. before the presentation ceremony of the Distinguished Service Cross to Andrew Bundermann. Bundermann was serving as the acting commander of troop B, 3rd Sqdr., 61st Cav.

With only 53 Soldiers at COP Keating, Bundermann coordinated a defense for more than 12 hours, and endured another four days of fighting, that killed more than 100 Taliban fighters and injured another 80. The Distinguished Service Cross is second only to the Medal of Honor.
