A staff report


Today, Sgt. James M. Treber will posthumously receive the Soldier's Medal at Fort Bragg for his actions one year ago in Afghanistan.

His widow will receive the medal in a ceremony at the 7th Special Forces Group Rock Garden at 2 p.m.

The Soldier's Medal is awarded for heroism involving risk of life outside of combat.

Treber was assigned to the 1st Battalion of the 7th Special Forces Group.

He was one of three soldiers who drowned after their vehicle rolled into a canal while on patrol. Also killed in the incident were Master Sgt. Shawn E. Simmons and Sgt. 1st Class Jeffrey M. Radamorales.

Brig. Gen. Michael S. Repass, commanding general of U.S. Army Special Forces Command at Fort Bragg, will present the award.

I went through the Q with Treber. I remember him giving me a dip when I was his RTO in SUT (they made all the CPT's RTO's for the 18X's who were PL's for the culmination exercise). IMHO he did a good job in the field back then and continued to do the same in OEF. Ironically, MSG Simmons was mine and Treber's TAC in student company during the Q Course. He saw us through the whole Q Course. Treber ended up having MSG Simmons as his TS in OEF and he gave his life to try and save him. Simmons was one of the good examples in SWC who didn't belittle the students and gave this SF Officer a great example of what a SF NCO was all about. I was in country when all of this happened and it is still hard to believe that they are both gone.


They are all missed.
