22 STS Medals Ceremony

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz, left, and Tech Sgt. Marc Tirres, 22nd Special Tactice Squadron, pause for a photograph during a ceremony here April 29. Sergeant Tirres was presented the Purple Heart for injuries he suffered while responding to a well coordinated insurgent attack on Afghanistan National Government facilities in January 2010. During this mission, he assaulted up three stories to engage a well armed and barricaded enemy. Because of his actions, the entrenched force was destroyed within hours compared to previous terrorist attacks which took days to stop. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Abner Guzman)
