The Pembroke Military Support Group was the proud recipient of the 2009 Community Caring Award, presented by the Norwell Visiting Nurse Association.  Each year, this honor is awarded to “an outstanding individual or group of individuals for their commitment, support, and generosity to our community”.

 

We were honored to accept this reward at a ceremony at the Cushing Center in Norwell, on June 10th, 2009.


 

Lt. David M. Walsh

Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Walsh of Pembroke received notice that their son, Lt. David M. Walsh, has been awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star for his actions in battle in Baghdad’s International Zone.

 

The awards were presented in a small ceremony, after Lt. Walsh recovered from wounds he received on April 6th, 2008. 

 

On that day, the zone experienced an extraordinarily high volume of insurgent attacks with mortar and rocket fire. After suffering injuries from shrapnel, Lt. Walsh selflessly administered combat life saving techniques to others who were more seriously injured.

 

Lt. Walsh graduated from Silver Lake Regional High School, in Kingston in 1997 and then entered the Naval Academy where he graduated in 2003.
