Air Force Cross/Double Silver Star ceremony

Three U.S. Air Force special tactics combat controllers received multiple decorations of high valor May 7, 2015, at Pope Army Airfield, N.C. This is only the second battle, which the Air Force has been involved in, within the last 15 years that resulted in an Air Force Cross and multiple Silver Star medals. Senior Airman Dustin Temple received the Air Force Cross, a medal second only to the Medal of Honor, and Tech. Sgt. Matthew Greiner and Senior Airman Goodie Goodman received the Silver Star. All provided crucial air-to-ground integration during a 48-hour firefight in Afghanistan with nearly 100 insurgents. The special tactics community has received seven Air Force Crosses and 34 Silver Stars since 9/11. (U.S. Air Force photo)
