U.S Air Force Master Sgt. Alexander Arias, 35th Logistics Squadron, Section Chief, Maintenance Support Liaison, is awarded a bronze star and purple heart Jan. 28, 2011, Misawa Air Base, Japan. Sergeant Arias demonstrated the highest degree of "courage under fire" while engaging with enemy forces as a scout gunner in a coalition vehicle convoy during his deployment to Afghanistan.
