Bryan Lentz Awarded Army Combat Action Badge

Bryan Lentz, Democratic candidate for State
Representative in Pennsylvania’s 161st District, has been awarded the
Army Combat Action Badge (CAB) for his service in Iraq in 2004.

During his tour as a Company Commander in Iraq, Lentz’s unit had
numerous contacts with the enemy including being subject to routine
mortar attacks on their operating base.

In one incident, in September 2004, Lentz was the senior ranking
officer on a convoy north of the city of Mosul that came under attack
by insurgents. The unit’s mission was to travel to several water
treatment plants to help initiate water reconstruction projects in the
region.

“It is certainly an honor to receive the Army Combat Action Badge,”
said Lentz. "But, today my thoughts and prayers are with America's
real heroes, those men and women who are still serving in harm’s way,
and the many soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice and given
their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. May God bless them all."

Bryan Lentz is the Democratic candidate for State Representative in the
161st Legislative District in Delaware County. Lentz served with
distinction in the Iraq War and with MFO and NATO peacekeeping missions
in the Sinai Peninsula and Bosnia. In civilian life, Lentz served for
six years as a prosecutor with the Philadelphia District Attorney's
office, where he prosecuted violent crime. For more information about
