Summary

Description
English: Pfc. Earnest Swanner II, a native of Poplarville, Miss., who serves with Troop A, 1st Squadron, 75th Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, Multi-National Division – Baghdad, is awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart medals by Maj. Gen. Jeffery Hammond, the commanding general of the 4th Infantry Division and MND-B, at the division headquarters Nov. 12. Pfc. Padan Hale, a native of Granite City, Ill., was also awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart medals during the ceremony, and Spc. Christopher Phillips, a native of Dallas, N.C., was awarded the Bronze Star Medal. During a patrol, Nov. 1, the Soldiers' convoy was attacked by two extremists. An explosion penetrated the passenger-side, front door on the fourth vehicle, critically wounding the vehicle commander and lightly wounding the driver and gunner. The heroic actions of the gunner (Hale), driver (Swanner), and the platoon medic (Phillips) enabled effective casualty evacuation to Riva Ridge Troop Medical Clinic, thus saving the life of their platoon sergeant.
