By CHAD GARLAND | STARS AND STRIPES Published: January 6, 2021 Senior Master Sgt. Rick Johnson had deployed twice before to combat zones, but he never experienced the panic and confusion he saw in Iraq last March during a fatal rocket attack on Camp Taji. “All around me, people were screaming,” he said in a recent Air Force statement. “No one knew what to do. You go through all this training, but when it actually happens, you’re frozen in fear.” But he chose to act, earning an Air Force Commendation Medal for his heroism that night and a Bronze Star Medal for meritorious achievement for his efforts throughout the 8 ½-month deployment.
