Staff Sgt. Danny Beard of the Fort Campbell Warrior Transition Battalion was awarded the Bronze Star Medal on Wednesday, receiving the award from Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Colt, the 101st Airborne Division Deputy Commanding General for Support.

Beard earned the medal for his outstanding service as a senior medic while deployed to Afghanistan with the 4th Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division from Aug. 2010 to Aug. 2011.

Colt said that it was a profound privilege to present a Bronze Star to a member of the non commissioned officer corps. Colt explained that non commissioned officers make up a "pillar of leadership in our Army which sets us apart from all others."
