About 800 Rangers from 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, will be recognized for their combat actions in a combat awards ceremony Friday at Hunter Army Air Field, Ga.
According to an Army press release, the awards to be presented include 10 Bronze Star Medals for valor, three Joint Commendation Medals for valor, three Army Commendation Medals for valor and numerous other awards.
The ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. in the Truscott Air Terminal, Hunter Army Airfield.
Several family members will also be recognized during the ceremony for their volunteer efforts in support of the unit and its family readiness program, the release stated. The National Military Family Association will present its April Family of the Month award during the ceremony to a pre-selected family from 1st Battalion.
