He was the last commander of American troops before it was turned over to the South Koreans, and he also did a tour of the combat zone in Iraq (where he received a bronze star).” The senior Kuczynski said that he and his wife were touched by the fact that General William Caldwell took the time to send them a personal e- mail about their son. “I answered him back, and he sent another response back to me as well,” said Richard. The Army Lt. Colonel said that he is looking forward to returning to the Manistee area when he gets some leave time. “First thing I am going to do is hug my parents,” said Kuczynski. “My parents are tremendous supporters of myself, and of those who serve. They are absolutely believers in all of us, and in what we are doing. They’re strength; they’re a shoulder when things get tough, and when you’re far away that deserves a big hug.” The presentation by Levin is something that Kuczynski said was made the event even more special to him. “To have Sen. Levin pin the award on, it was a great way to cap it off,” said Kuczynski of his time in Afghanistan. “You’re proud to be a soldier to have this happen, and you’re proud to be from the State of Michigan to have your senator pin this on. It’s a very high award and this means a lot.” Some of his duties in Afghanistan centered around what NATO and 40 countries are attempting to achieve in that country by growing the Afghan security forces. It is work that Kuczynski said made a difference in that country. “To be part of an effort by more than 40 countries that are working to grow the Afghan army, police and air force, the Afghanistan National Security Force is really a high watermark,” said Kuczynski. “Working with the coalition, working with sister services, working in this environment is not just an individual effort.” It is an effort that thousands of Americans from across the country and world are doing on a daily basis to make the world safer place for everyone.
