Army Public Relations

UPDATE: The DVIDS command have been in contact, and have been very gracious. This is an extremely useful product for the media, and I have been assured that they will hold to their statements on site that all materials are in the public domain. I appreciate the efforts made by these folks and I have no problem with them at all. 2-21-2008 In Dad’s Army, there was a creature called a REMF. It was generally a soldier who was in the rear and used his power for anything but the benefit of the troops on the line. I do not characterize this non-com as an REMF.

Sgt. Jill Stevens

Combat Medic Badge It has not gone unnoticed here that a significant number of the men and women in the WOT Heroes category won their awards as medics. It is also fair to say that a number of these awards went to medics killed in the line of duty. For Jill Stevens to have received this award, she had to have been performing her medic’s role in actual combat. And, to my delight, this is one award that is NOT allowed to be awarded to general officers.
