FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash. – Bronze Star recipient Capt. Carl Close and his wife, Kara, walk off stage after a medal ceremony Monday afternoon recognizing the captain's efforts in Kandahar Afghanistan. Kara stayed behind during the year he was deployed to Afghanistan, a hardship many military families endure during today’s high operations tempo. “A year is a long time,” said Captain Close during his ceremony speech. “I thank my wife for being here.” The captain’s father, visiting from North Carolina, also attended the ceremony.
