A Bronze Star has gone to A1C Kevin Ingerick from Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, for his quick life-saving actions during a convoy mission in Iraq. While under enemy fire, Ingerick helped US forces kill six insurgents and pulled a driver from a burning vehicle, reports KTVB News Channel 7. He remarked during the ceremony that after the attack he felt he “should have been really scared, but you just don’t have time to think about it.”
