ASSOCIATION OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY

Medal of Honor recipient David Bellavia will speak Feb. 21 as part of the Association of the U.S. Army’s Noon Report webinar series.

Bellavia, the only living recipient of the nation’s highest valor award for actions in Iraq, will discuss his new book, Remember the Ramrods: An Army Brotherhood in War and Peace. During his presentation, Bellavia will share how bonds with soldiers in his platoon motivated him to clear an enemy stronghold in Fallujah, Iraq, and how reuniting with them 15 years later helped the group grapple with their wartime service.

Master Sgt. Gary Gordon and Sgt. 1st Class Randy Shughart, who gave their lives to save their fellow soldiers during the fierce Battle of Mogadishu, are the focus of the latest graphic novel in the Association of the U.S. Army’s series on recipients of the nation’s highest award for valor.

Capt. Tom Custer, the first soldier in U.S. history to earn two Medals of Honor, is the subject of the latest graphic novel in the Association of the U.S. Army’s series on recipients of the nation’s highest award for valor.
