Project Hero

QandO has the next Silver Star recipient tribute up on their site.



Our hero this week is Project Hero: SGT Joshua Szott, Silver Star

While out on a patrol Sept. 18, Szott's team was ambushed by enemy forces. Szott was shot in the left leg and took shrapnel in his right leg. Wounded and bleeding, Szott carried out other wounded, forced the retreat of 20 enemy "guerrillas" and, according to the award citation, aided in the defeat and capture of those responsible for the attack.
