FORWARD OPERATING BASE KALSU, Iraq – Seven Soldiers from Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, were honored March 14 for their contributions to the Spartan Brigade during the current deployment.
"It is important to recognize Soldiers for their contributions to the unit," said Capt. Shane Williams, HHC commander and native of Plant City, Fla. "It gives them a chance to be seen in front of their peers and congratulated for their achievements."
In the ceremony, two Soldiers received Good Conduct Medals, three received Army Achievement Medals and three received certificates of achievement.
"Besides being staff elements, some of you go above and beyond," said 1st Sgt. Richard Henson, HHC first sergeant, of Memphis, Tenn.
The importance of such dedication is necessary, Henson said, because if the brigade staff doesn't do their job, Soldiers performing missions outside the base cannot complete their mission.
The recipients of the awards and their awards were: Sgt. Tania Nieto and Spc. Timothy Moffit, the Good Conduct Medal; Sgt. Maurice Webb, Pfc. Anthony Farrior and Pfc. Brandon Spivey, the Army Achievement Medal; Spc. Timothy Moffit, Pfc. Robert Mata and Pfc. Bradden Fuhriman, certificates of achievement.
