 Then-Staff Sgt. Good and his team were on a mission on Oct. 31, 2003, to halt foreign fighters who were infiltrating Iraq from Syria.
Their convoy drove into the enemy-friendly town of Sadah when one of the vehicles was hit by a RPG. Eight members of the team went after the enemy fighters, while Good and two others provided security.
A soldier was hit, and Good provided cover fire while the injured soldier was loaded into the vehicle. Good's vehicle was disabled, but he negotiated with an Iraqi man in a run-down Toyota to drive them to the camp.
After dropping off the wounded soldier, Good returned to the fight along with other soldiers to assist those still trapped in the village.
Good was awarded the Silver Star Medal on Dec. 15, 2004. |
