1st Lt. Abigail Holstein was presented the Purple Heart

1st Lt. Abigail Holstein was presented the Purple Heart on May 3, 2020, for her injuries sustained during the theater ballistic missile attacks at Al Asad Air Base, Iraq, on January 8, 2020. Of the 27 Soldiers to receive Purple Hearts from the January attacks, 1st Lt. Holstein is one of the few 34th Expeditionary Combat Aviation Brigade recipients to return to duty after receiving initial treatment for her injuries and thus, received the Purple Heart medal in-theater. She serves as an enroute critical care nurse with Charlie Company, 3-238th General Support Aviation Battalion. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Sydney Mariette)
