Sgt. (R) Daniel Cowart and his wife Sarah during a recent ski outing. Cowart has stayed active since the suicide vest explosion in Iraq that cost him his leg. Cowart was recently notified that the Department of the Army is upgrading his Silver Star to a Distinguished Service Cross the second highest medal awarded for valor after the Medal of Honor. The upgrade was ordered after the completion of a comprehensive, year-long Military Decorations and Awards Review, which was ordered by then Sec. of Def. Ash Carter. The ceremony will be at 4:30 PM at Cooper Field, Fort Hood, TX.
