A fallen Fort Campbell soldier will be posthumously honored with the Silver Star this week, at the headquarters of the 101st Airborne’s 4th Brigade Combat Team.
Specialist Jordan M. Byrd was from Grantsville, Utah, and joined the Army two years ago. The combat medic was killed in Afghanistan last fall while trying to save a fellow soldier.
The Silver Star is among the military’s highest decorations, awarded for quote “gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States.”
