Members of Bravo Company, 3rd Battalion, 172nd Infantry Regiment (Mountain), Maine Army National Guard who served with the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division in Afghanistan in 2010 were awarded the Valorous Unit Award for their actions as a Brigade during the period of April 1- Aug. 31, 2010. Capt. Paul Bosse was the company commander in 2010, and he said he is proud of the men he served with. "They were a valorous unit and they fought every bit as hard if not harder than their active duty counterparts. I think that the people of Maine should be really proud of the group of guys that went to serve in 2010 in Dand Wa Patan, Afghanistan."
