2nd Brigade Awards 2016
All 2BDE Valor awards are chosen by Brigadier Jane Childers and the Awards & Decoration Committee, made up of several members throughout the brigade.
VALOR AWARDS
CROSS OF VALOR – BDR Angela Lewis (SCC: 65107)
BDR Angela Lewis of the 699th MSG exemplifies the spirit, image, and attitude of the SFMC. When LCDR Jennifer Pohe, a recent transplant patient, suffered a major injury in her home, ending in a significant gash on her leg, BDR Lewis (alerted to the emergency by LCDR Jennifer Testardi) sprang into action by quickly sterilizing the wound and performing a field dressing on the leg in order to get LCDR Pohe to the hospital.
SWORD OF VALOR – BDR Anne Zecca (SCC: 63098)
BDR Anne Zecca of the 631st MSG exemplifies the personal and professional standards of leadership in the SFMC. She was part of the local organizing committee for the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (Ocala, FL), held 10/17/15; donated platelets at LifeSouth Community Blood Centers (Ocala, FL) on numerous occasions; attended the annual Memorial Day ceremony at the Marion County (FL) Veterans Memorial on 5/26/15, networking with local veterans; attending the Ladies Auxiliary Military Order of the Purple Heart meetings as part of her ongoing support of their causes; and volunteering at the 40th Annual British Night Watch (St. Augustine, FL), 12/6-7/14. I realize BDR Zecca may not qualify since she is on the committee, but I think that is a shame as her service is exemplary.
SHIELD OF VALOR – COL Gregory Fant (SCC: 72418)
COL Gregory Fant of the 631st MSG has made the most significant personal impact in community service efforts this past year. COL Fant’s many volunteer efforts include facilitating a support group discussion on marriage, divorce & healing on 4/17/15, at a Christian church in Arlington (VA); serving as a judge at a church community science fair for middle school-age children; and donating 10 bags of clothing to a local Goodwill center in the Arlington (VA) area.
LEGION OF VALOR – 602nd MEU [BGN James Reed (SCC: 51301), OIC]
The 602nd MEU exemplifies the spirit, image and attitude of the SFMC as shown by their level of volunteerism. This past year, they worked with Operation Shoebox to send care packages to US military troops overseas; worked with NVHS to help the group Veterans in America; and the American Legion Family’s Funday in their local area.
