Bronze star
Capt. Kurt Gerlach was presented a Bronze Star by Maj. Gen. David Gillett, Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center commander, recently. Captain Gerlach earned the medal during a deployment on combat operations in Iraq while assigned to the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force – Arabian Peninsula. The citation reads, in part: “His actions are in keeping with the finest traditions of military service and reflect distinct credit upon himself, Special Operations Command Central and the United States Air Force.” (Air Force photo by Dave Faytinger)
