U.S. Army Staff Sergeant David G. Bellavia, of Batavia, New York, displayed extraordinary heroism while serving in the 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Division (aka Big Red 1) and battling insurgents in Iraq on November, 10, 2004. He cleared an insurgent stronghold almost single-handedly, and in doing so, saved many members of his platoon from possible death.
On June 25th, tomorrow, Staff Sergeant Bellavia's Silver Star will be upgraded to a Medal of Honor - making him the only living Medal of Honor recipient for Operation Iraqi Freedom.
