Mr. and Mrs. Harold Willey of Mount Ayr received word that their grandson, Staff Sergeant Kenneth Mohr, of Eagle Grove, received the Bronze Star in a ceremony held in Germany. Mohr was awarded the medal
"For exceptional Meritorious acts against Saddam's Republican Guard." The incident took place at Al Busayyah, Iraq when S/Sgt. Mohr came out from under his cover to intercept an Iraqi tank that was holding an allied tank
under fire. Mohr was a Bradley Commander with the First Armored Division out of Germany serving in the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm.
