Combat Action Badge ceremony 2006
Sixty-one uniformed Army National Guard soldiers stood at attention as a two-star general stepped up to address them. The Adjutant General, Major General David P. Rataczak, first apologized to the 44 area soldiers who had seen combat in Iraq, but had not yet received the deserved Combat Action Badge. Because of its central location, this military ceremony was held at the American Legion building in Payson, Arizona on Saturday, Dec. 2, 2006.
Combat Action Badge recipient SSgt. Debora Boyer takes time after the ceremony to hold a dear friend's baby, 8-month-old Darcy Cox.
