โ€˜15 years in the making:โ€™ Iraq war hero to receive posthumous medal of honor

Read full article: โ€˜15 years in the making:โ€™ Iraq war hero to receive posthumous medal of honor

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. โ€“ President Donald Trump signed legislation Friday to allow Iraq war hero Alwyn Cashe from Oviedo, to be awarded the medal of honor, a move that ends Casheโ€™s family and supporters 15-year quest to honor him with the nationโ€™s highest military award. โ€œI was excited, I was thrilled for the family,โ€ Ed Burford, an Army veteran among supporters for the bill to pass, said. It took 15 years to upgrade his Silver Star to Medal of Honor.โ€It took 15 years for a president to sign the bill to posthumously award the Medal of Honor to Cashe for his acts of valor during Operation Iraqi Freedom while serving in the United States Army. In October 2005, Cashe was in a Bradley fighter vehicle in Iraq when a roadside bomb exploded nearby. โ€œIt wonโ€™t bring him back but itโ€™s meaningful for the family, itโ€™s closure that what he accomplished was noticed.

Stephanie Murphy (R-Fla.) to recognize Army Sgt. Since the bill has now been signed, the Department of Defense can recommend that Trump formally award the medal to Cashe. โ€œAmerica can never fully repay the ultimate debt paid by our heroes like Alwyn Casheโ€”but what we can do is honor them for their sacrifices. โ€œIโ€™m very optimistic the Department of Defense will recommend this award.
