U.S. Army Captain Alex Wray, son of North Ender and FOCCP officer Sandra Harcourt, was awarded the Bronze Star last Thursday in Afghanistan. It is the fourth-highest combat award of the U.S. Armed Forces and the ninth highest military award (including both combat and non-combat awards) in the order of precedence of U.S. military decorations. Sandra shares that, “Alex will be home by the end of the month along with all the soldiers we sent Christmas packages too. Thank you all for being so supportive.”
