The Army Times reports that Captain Will Swenson, who earned the Medal of Honor in the Ganjgal Valley in 2009 has returned to duty;<\/p>\n
Swenson, who originally left the Army in 2011, is assigned to I Corps at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., corps spokesman Col. David Johnson confirmed to Army Times.<\/p>\n
Swenson returned to active duty last month, signing in to I Corps on March 14. He is serving as a plans officer at I Corps headquarters.<\/p>\n
[…]<\/p>\n
Now that he\u2019s back in uniform, Swenson joins Sgt. 1st Class Leroy Petry and Staff Sgt. Ty Carter as the only Medal of Honor recipients honored for actions in Afghanistan who are still on active duty \u2014 and they are all stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
CPT Swenson’s Medal was held up because he was outspoken on the failures of leadership that led to the events of his heroics. I hope he continues to be frank with his bosses because in these lean times we seem to be short of real leaders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
