Operation: Op Sousaphone Servitude - Patrol, sweep and clear a set of villages.
Medal: Bronze Star Medal
Reason: AWARDED Bronze Star Medal (BSM) for near-suidical heroism in closing with an enemy armoured vehicle that was engaging the unit with sustained and direct HE fire, using the limited cover available to advance and then attacking the vehicle at extremely short ranges to maximise the potential for damage, distracting the occupants of the vehicle such that friendly HE attacks could disable it, accepting the wounds from the detonations of the vehicle as necessary during sweep and clearance missions as part of Operation Sousaphone Servitude. (by Admin)
Commendation: For blowing up a recoilless truck, which was being a massive knobend. - by Admin
Commendation: At point blank range Wrench engaged and destroyed an enemy armoured vehicle that was engaging the unit with sustained and direct HE fire. Wrench used the limited cover available to advance on the vehicle and then engaged it close in to maximise the chance of doing any damage. Even as friendly HE rounds were falling short around him, Wrench continued to engage the enemy vehicle, until it blew up under the weight of his gunfire. So close was he to the vehicle he was injured in the blast. - by Admin

Operation: Op Toreador Lady - Patrol around the roads by Ban Phiadouang. Land mines, rickshaws, and swarms of Chelt.
Commendation: Did not abandon his fearless leader, the LT in his moment of need. LT was wounded by friendly arty, and Wrench bravely exposed himself to save his favorite scion of inspiration. The US Senate will remember this many years from now. - by Admin
Commendation: During the foot patrol, shortly after identifying and bypassing a series of enemy landmines, the squad was ambushed by a significant chelt force. I observed Wrench taking the fight to the enemy and blunting the force of their assault, fighting on and killing multiple enemies even though he had become wounded in the action. Wrench's aggression and esprit d'corps in this moment prevented the squad from being overrun from two flanks and allowed the squad to withdraw in good order. - by Admin
