Army Bronze Star Medal Interview
[By ME-P Staff Writers]
Recently, Medical Executive-Post writers caught up with Captain Cecelia T. Perez for more information on the exact circumstances surrounding her Bronze Star Medal Award.
Interview Synopsis
Self-effacing and humble, Cecelia simply stated in her email interview that the medal was “basically for saving lives” while in Iraq.
Only when pressed for more details, did Cecelia explain – “My friend Bill and I set up trauma sites separate from the rest of our company. First, in Talafar, Iraq for five months and then at COP Gabe in Baquoba, Iraq during our brigade’s retaking of that city.”
She noted that “we had some serious trauma to deal with as we responded to Iraqi Army mass casualty events at their aide station which was also located near us.”
Unfortunately, “they did not have a PA or doctor like we did, so Bill and I, along with our medics, responded to their requests for help.”
Of course, Cecelia mentioned several times that it was a medical team group effort.
But, “they obviously appreciated our efforts as gender, racial, and cultural barriers disappear in the midst of the bleeding and the wounded.”
Assessment
We say: A real American Army Hero would have it no other way!
