STAUNTON, Va. (AP) — Members of the Virginia Army National Guard known as the Stonewall Brigade are being honored for their service in Iraq.
Governor Tim Kaine awarded the Governor's National Service Medal to members of Staunton's 116th Brigade Combat Team over the weekend. The team was stationed in Baghdad for 10 months to provide support for General David Petraeus, the U.S. commander of Operation Iraqi Freedom troops.
Officials say the unit had a long list of accomplishments in Iraq, including establishing a base defense center and a mass casualty team in Baghdad's international zone. The unit also helped restore and modernize Baghdad by providing waterlines and even a soccer pitch.
