SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii — A Hawaii-based soldier is scheduled to receive the Silver Star for his actions in Iraq last year.

Sgt. Scott Kenyon is being honored with the Army's third highest wartime medal at a ceremony at Schofield Barracks on Friday.

Kenyon was leading a security team in the Anbar province when they encountered two Iraqis trying to plant an explosive device and came under fire. Despite being struck with bullets to his body armor and helmet, Kenyon continued fighting and leading his team.

He even engaged in a hand-to-hand battle before restraining one Iraqi.
