WASHINGTON (Army News Service, Nov. 4, 2003) -- Acts of heroism, community service and deeds that exemplify Army values can be found on the Army Homepage's newest feature, "Soldier Stories."

Soldiers who dodge bullets to pull their comrades to safety, and those who are working to improve the condition of run-down Iraqi facilities, schools and hospitals are among those spotlighted at www.army.mil.

Sgt. Timothy Hicks, an artillery cannon crewmember, knew that the small-arms fire aimed at him was getting closer, but he remained focused. His goal was to get to two wounded soldiers, whose supply vehicle had been hit with a rocket-propelled grenade. Hicks later received the Bronze Star for maneuvering the supply vehicle through a "hot zone" and getting his comrades to safety.

"This new page pays tribute to the men and women who exemplify the Army values," said Col. James Allen, chief of the Command Information Division at the Pentagon.

The Soldier Stories Web site was designed to aid speechwriters who want to express to the world that the Army is at war - relevant and ready, Allen said.

"By going to the Web site, writers can get short stories that convey how dedicated, sincere and caring our American Soldiers are. They're doing more than rooting out evil, they're restoring water, electricity, and rebuilding infrastructures.

"If I were writing a speech, I would find it hard to put the pen down with all the good things that are going on in Iraq and Afghanistan."

The Soldier Stories Web page went live Oct. 30, and will continuously be updated with new vignettes.

If you know a Soldier whose actions deserve recognition, send your vignette to the Army News Service, "arnews@hqda.army.mil."
