Master Sergeant Delorean Sheridan served as the lone Air Commando with Army Special Forces through 177 days of combat in Afghanistan, including 43 high-risk missions and 18 firefights. He solely defeated an insider ambush on joint-forces that claimed the lives of his teammates around him by bravely closing in on the gunman with a pistol and M-4 rifle.During the attack, he exposed himself to heavy machine gun fire three times to drag his wounded teammates out of the line of fire to a protected casualty collection point. Sergeant Sheridan was hand-picked to stand-up an elite airfield recon team with a global focus, and led a U.S. search team to recover downed, sensitive technology with zero compromise to national security. Despite being deployed over half the year, he earned his 2nd CCAF degree and completed 12 semester hours towards a bachelor’s degree. He was recently awarded a Silver Star and his second Bronze Star for heroism in combat during his 6th deployment to Afghanistan.
