Sergeant Jesse Kelsch: Someone You Should Know

"Longtime readers of Badgers Forward remember 8 February 2007 when our three friends, our brothers, our comrades in arms, Sergeant Holtom, Sergeant Clevenger, and Private First Class Werner were killed in action along a lonely road northeast of Falluja, Iraq. Today I was privileged to present an award for action on 8 February 2007.

Sergeant Jesse Kelsch was working as both a Sapper looking for roadside bombs and as the platoon medic on 8 February 2007.

Immediately following the the explosion that rocked the lead vehicle, the casualty evacuation vehicle under the direction of the platoon sergeant, moved up. At that point Sergeant Kelsch did not hesitate, seeing his fellow Soldiers in trouble he dismounted and immediately began to render aid. Although not under direct enemy fire, enough enemy roadside bombs had been in that area in the previous two days that dismounting a heavily protected armored vehicle took no small amount of courage."
