Rangers honored with Silver Stars, Bronze Stars with V (http://www.armytimes.com/story/military/2015/04/30/1st-ranger-battalion-valor-awards-bronze-star/26662519/)
Cool story about a 6 hour firefight where Rangers brought it to the enemy. At least 25 nogoodnicks killed and only one Ranger seriously hurt. Two Rangers were awarded Silver Stars and others Bronze Star w/ V medals.


Jones, who was 20 feet away, heard Anderson call on the radio that Dunn had been hit.


"I ran over to the doorway of the compound and Anderson was all the way inside dragging Sgt. Dunn, so I ran over to him," Jones said. "It was just a knee-jerk reaction. It's something that we train for."


Jones, who has deployed 11 times to Iraq and Afghanistan, helped treat and medically evacuate Dunn. He then moved under machine gun fire to orient his M3 Carl Gustav team towards the barricaded shooter, directing three "accurately placed shots" from the Multi-Role Anti-Armor Anti-Personnel Weapon System into the side of the compound.


Both Jones and Anderson are credited with contributing to more than 25 enemy killed and protecting 49 joint special operations troops.
