Staff Sergeant Michael Espejo, Jr. was aiding an injured man in an Afghan to deflect an attack. The injured man had wired himself with a bomb and was attempting to detonate it. Staff Sgt. Espejo instructed the suicide bomber to surrender in both English and Pashto. When the bomber ignored the order and tried to activate the explosives, Staff Sgt. Espejo shot him. His sharp thinking and precise firing saved the lives of four other Soldiers, several Afghan policemen and two Department of State employees.
