Apr. 10, BG Gregory Day, Land Component Commander, Colonel Philip DeMontigny, Commander 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team, presented SFC Jedidia Powell with the Soldier's Medal at Camp Withycombe.
The award is for SFC Powell's actions on Nov. 28, 2017. He disregarded his safety and ran towards a burning house and evacuated a woman lying on the ground to a safe location. SFC Powell then entered the building to locate additional victims in the burning home, exposing himself to smoke inhalation and open flames. SFC Powell's quick thinking and deliberate disregard for his safety in the face of adversity helped save a life.
