Sergeant First Class Alwyn C. Cashe distinguished himself by acts of extraordinary heroism on October 17, 2005, in Iraq. While commanding a Bradley Fighting Vehicle, it was attacked by enemy fire and an improvised explosive device, engulfing the vehicle in flames. Despite being severely burned, Cashe first rescued the driver, who was trapped and on fire. He then moved to the rear of the vehicle, braving enemy fire, to help four other soldiers escape. When he realized two soldiers were still inside, he re-entered the burning vehicle to rescue them. After ensuring his fellow soldiers were safe, Cashe refused medical evacuation until all others had been treated. His selflessness, courage, and unwavering commitment to his comrades exemplified the highest military traditions. Sergeant First Class Cashe's actions reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the U.S. Army. 🫡
