5 R.I. Guardsmen to be awarded Bronze Stars

Five members of the Rhode Island Army National Guard will be awarded Bronze Star Medals for distinguishing themselves with heroic or meritorious achievement during their 2005 deployment to Iraq.

The five members of the 173rd Infantry Detachment will receive their awards at the Quonset Officer Club in North Kingstown on Saturday. They are Staff Sgts. Thomas O’Hare, David Raymond, John Shimkus and Justin Hunt and Sgt. Robert Carrigg.

These awards bring to eight the number of Bronze Stars awarded to members of the 56-man 173rd Infantry Detachment.
