The President of the United States of America, authorized by Executive Order 11046, 24 August 1962, takes pleasure in presenting the Bronze Star Medal with Combat “V” to Sergeant First Class Michael G. Greer, United States Army, for exceptionally valorous achievement as the Platoon Sergeant in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM on 31 March 2006. Sergeant First Class Greer’s outstanding performance during an enemy ambush ensured the safety of his platoon and inflicted heavy casualties on the insurgent force. Without regard for his own safety, Sergeant First Class Greer instantly took charge of the fight. His poise and leadership under fire helped the Scout Platoon to turn an enemy ambush in their favor. Sergeant First Class Greer’s performance in combat is in keeping with the finest traditions of military heroism and reflects great credit on him, 3d Heavy Brigade Combat Team, Multi National Division-North, and the United States Army.
