Three Guam-based sailors earn Bronze Stars
While most U.S. servicemembers in Iraq were trying to avoid bombs, the sailors of Explosives Ordnance Disposal Unit 5 were seeking them out. The Guam-based unit destroyed hundreds of weapons caches and explosives, sometimes resorting to the dangerous task of defusing bombs with their hands, in Anbar province during the past year’s handover to Iraqi forces.
