Sergeant Bozik - Update 18 - Receives Bronze Star

Posted By Blackfive • [August 30, 2005]

Received this message from Gail Bozik, Joey's mother:

Joey received the Bronze Star Award last Friday, August 26th, 2005, at
Walter Reed.  This award is for duty to his country; whereas the Purple Heart is award for injuries for his country.  Seven soldiers came from Ft. Bragg to do the honors and several staff and doctors attended.  I have attached a video of the ceremony.  I hope you can open it.  Thanks for your continued love and support.
Love,
Gail, Joey and Jayme

  • Uber Pig
    AuthorLogo-pig.jpg
    Uber Pig was an Infantryman from late 1991 until early 1996, serving with Second Ranger Battalion, I Corps, and then 25th Infantry Division. At the time, the Army discriminated against enlisted soldiers who wanted use the "Green to Gold" program to become officers, so he left to attend Stanford University. There, he became expert in detecting, avoiding, and surviving L-shaped ambushes, before dropping out to be as entrepreneurial as he could be. He is now the founder of a software startup serving the insurance and construction industries, and splits time between Lake Tahoe, Boonville, and San Francisco, CA.

    Uber Pig writes for Blackfive a) because he's the proud brother of an enlisted Civil Affairs Reservist who currently serves in Iraq, b) because he looks unkindly on people who make it harder for the military in general, and for his brother in particular, to succeed at their missions and come home in victory, and c) because the Blackfive readers and commenters help keep him sane.
