COLUMBIA, SC – Lt. Gen. Clyde Vaughn,
Director of the Army National Guard, and Maj. Gen. Harry Burchstead,
Deputy Adjutant General for the S.C. Army National Guard, presented the
Edgefield-based 122nd Engineer Battalion with the Valorous Unit award
on Saturday, August 11, 2007, here at Airport High school in West
Columbia. The unit received the award for their extraordinary heroism in action with the enemy while serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom from February 2003 through April 2004. The degree of heroism required is the same as that which would warrant award of the Silver Star to an individual. The 122nd Engineer Battalion is the first unit from South Carolina to earn the Valorous Unit award since its inception on January 12, 1966. Above: Lt. Gen. Clyde Vaughn and Maj. Gen. Harry Burchstead add the Valorous Unit Award to the colors of the S.C. Army National Guard’s 122nd Engineer Battalion. For
