(Citation Needed) – SYNOPSIS: The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918 (amended by an act of July 25, 1963), takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Specialist Terry J. Fuller-Young, United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving with the 549th Military Police Company, 385th Military Police Battalion, 3d Infantry Division, during combat operations in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM, on 22 April 2006, in Iraq. Specialist Taylor-Young saved the lives of his fellow comrades and prevented catastrophe while serving with the Al Zuhour Iraqi Police Station on 22 April 2006 when anti-Iraqi forces launched a coordinated attack on the station. Specialist Young’s squad arrived early in the day to meet with members of the station’s police chief and arranged a security perimeter facing nearby road intersections. Once security was established, the team went in to meet with the Al Zahour Police Chief. When the team was leaving Specialist Young noticed the street was clear of pedestrians and believed this was out of place. He then noticed a red four-door vehicle traveling on one of the routes toward them. When the vehicle was identified as a threat, the Military Police gunner standing security, Private First Class Joshua Gorrell, engaged the vehicle with well-aimed and disabling shots. When the vehicle continued on its path, Private First Class Gorrell engaged the driver, mortally wounding him. The vehicle was driven by a suicide bomber, which carried an improvised explosive device. The vehicle detonated between the two front security vehicles, approximately five meters from Specialist Young. Mortars, rocket propelled grenades and a heavy sustained barrage of precision small arms fire followed the explosion. Specialist Young’s gunner was knocked down and couldn’t get back up. Specialist Young exited the vehicle and found the squad medic, who was wounded, lying on the ground next to the vehicle. He helped Private First Class Gorrell from the vehicle and moved the injured medic to the safety of a nearby bunker. With Private First Class Gorrell providing security at the bunker, Specialist Young once again maneuvered his way through the relentless attack, back to another MP vehicle to assist with the evacuation of another three-man team. Once all the wounded Soldiers were save within the Iraqi Police Station, Specialist Young noticed a blazing fire from a burning fuel tank which was quickly moving towards another military police vehicle. The gunner for the third vehicle was unable to drop from the turret and move the vehicle. Specialist Young went back out and moved the vehicle–preventing it from being engulfed in flames. He then assisted the squad to load the wounded Soldiers so they could get medical treatment. Specialist Fuller-Young’s gallant actions and dedicated devotion to duty, without regard for his own life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, the 3d Infantry Division, and the United States Army.
