North Hills Grad Receives Bronze Star

A North Hills High School  graduate, and now an Air Force Master Sgt., has been awarded the Bronze Star.

Master Sgt. Bryan Schubert was honored for his actions during a six-month deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.

"As the day and night shift operations NCO in-charge for a joint task force, Schubert showed superior leadership and operational expertise that proved instrumental to the overall success of the mission," the Air Force said in a statement. "Schubert expertly advised several assigned Afghan senior military and governmental leaders who were responsible for real-time targeting and deconfliction of hundreds of operations directed against insurgent networks."

Schubert, who graduated from North Hills in 1993, is based with the 50th Space Wing operating out of Schriever Air Force Base  near Colorado Springs, Co.
