5-2 Infantry (5th Stryker Brigade) Embroidered Indian Patch and Counter Guerrilla Tab – OEF 2009

The “Strike and Destroy” brigade began operations in Kandahar Province and quickly found itself in combat against a determined, lethal enemy. Thirty-seven 5th Bde. warriors died in combat during the deployment, and 239 suffered wounds. Of those, 95 returned last week to take part in the ceremony. In a moving moment, the wounded warriors complied with Tunnell’s order to rejoin their units, some limping and others steering wheel chairs into company formations.
