Friends and family listen to the National Anthem during a Purple Heart Ceremony held at the Corvallis Armory on Feb. 3, 2024, recognizing three Oregon National Guard heroes for their sacrifice during Operation Iraqi Freedom 2. The ceremony paid tribute to Jeromy Turner, Martin Theurer, and Ken Kaiser, who were members of Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 162nd Infantry Regiment (2-162), a unit that faced some of the fiercest fighting in the Iraq war. The event, which drew attention to the courage and resilience exhibited by the soldiers, featured remarks from Brig. Gen. Eric Riley, Land Component Commander for the Oregon National Guard and former Bravo Company Commander during the 2004-05 deployment. Riley, visibly moved, highlighted the sacrifice, camaraderie, and competence displayed by the three soldiers and the entire Bravo Company.
