Those recipients are Staff Sergeant Clinton Romesha, Staff Sergeant Ty Carter and Captain Florent Groberg. In the future, all five gates at Fort Carson will be renamed in honor of 4th Infantry Division individuals and groups.
Commanding General David Doyle spoke about Staff Sergeant Romesha's bravery, and the importance of the name change.
