I’ve been terribly remiss in posting to this blog, but here’s a good place to restart.
U.S. Special Operations Command will host a ceremony inducting Medal of Honor recipients Army Staff Sgt. Robert J. Miller and Army Sgt. 1st Class Leroy A. Petry into the Socom Hall of Honor at 3 p.m. tomorrow, at the Special Operations Forces Memorial located on Tampa Point Blvd, according to the command.
Petry and Miller’s parents will join USSOCOM Commander Adm. Bill McRaven and Mr. Geoff Barker of the Special Operations Forces Memorial Foundation in unveiling plaques on the Special Operations Forces Memorial honoring the two Medal of Honor recipients.
Miller was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions Jan. 25, 2008, while serving with the 3rd Special Forces Group in Afghanistan. Petry was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on May 26, 2008, while serving in Afghanistan with the 75th Ranger Regiment.
