Bobo sends us a link to the Washington Post which reports that “These U.S. airmen refused to be taken hostage in Afghanistan. Now they\u2019ll get valor awards.<\/a>” about Sergeant Matthew J. Greiner and Senior Airman Goodie J. Goodman, who will both receive the Silver Star and Senior Airman Dustin H. Temple (that’s him in the middle), who earned himself an Air Force Cross. All three earned their medals on September 27, 2014.<\/p>\n

I’m not going to cut and paste the story written by our friend, Dan Lamothe, so you should click over and read it yourself. But, you should know that Senior Airman Temple is only the third recipient of the Air Force Cross from the Afghanistan War behind Jason Dean Cunningham and John Chapman, both of whom were awarded the medal posthumously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
