11 Silver Stars awarded for battle in Nuristan Province, Afghanistan
At his Commanders call today MGen Wurster (AFSOC CC) briefed he had forwarded the recommendation for the Air Force Cross to the TACP member of the team. Although it is rarely mentioned, there is almost always a USAF "Quiet Professional" present at these events to coord the friendly air. TACP guys are usually not I.D.'d as Air Force since they live with the unit and wear the Army uniform (but with USAF insignia).
