Local Soldier Receives Award in Iraq

An Ark-La-Miss soldier is recognized for his outstanding service in Iraq. Sergeant Harry T. Orr was named Mays Officer of the Month. During his time in Iraq he trained 12 non-medical volunteers in the Intensive Care Unit- instructing them on how to recognize vital signs. While making other accomplishments in the medical field, Orr also managed the busiest ICU in Iraq. That unit boasts a 99 percent casualty survival rate. Orrs commanding officer says he is a great reflection of the U.S. Air Force. (Copyright 2008, NBC 10/Fox 14 News)
