Husband Receives Combat Aviation Badge

[Neophyte]

Yesterday, my husband (the tall one) received his CAB (Combat Aviation Badge) at a ceremony on base at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan. He got the badge for having been personally present and under direct hostile enemy fire. He was working on an apache when a morter came into their work area and almost hit him. Not exactly the circumstances I appreciate for him getting an award but I am just SO glad him and the others were not hurt.

Neo, Huge congrats to your husband. You must be so proud of him!!! A big thank you to your husband for his service, and a huge thank you to you and your family for the sacrifices you are making. Our men and women could not do their very special job without the support from home. Bless you all. I'll keep your husband in my prayers.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I will let him know the good wishes. I think he was slightly embarrassed when I told him I plastered this online, lol. Ah well, what can a proud wife do?

D'oh! I made a typo, it's Combat ACTION badge. I just got it mixed up cuz he works on the aviation side of things, lol.

Big Congrats to your husband!
I can't over how young these men look.
Some of them look like they're only 18 or so.
Talk about having to grow up in a heck of a hurry.
You must be very proud of him!
