And Camp Provider is where my darling CPT Patti is. She attended this ceremony.

On a basketball court ringed with palm trees, a place where not long ago the Iraqi army had fortified positions, 20 U.S. Army medics received on Monday the prestigious Combat Medical Badge...

Kannel and the other recipients are assigned to Company C, 501st Forward Support Battalion, Friedberg, Germany. The unit provides support to soldiers of the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division...

For Matthews, the noncommissioned officer in charge of the aid station at Camp Provider Forward Operating Base, the badge is validation for all of the hard work, long hours and strain she and her medics have endured during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Aside from working in the aid station, the medics also join units on patrols and raids.
