Watertown Daily Times: Stefanik recognizes Fort Drum soldiers who won all-Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal team competition
The soldiers from Fort Drum, Staff Sgt. Tyler A. Grieve and Sgt. Tristin E. Lindsey, met with Congresswoman Elise M. Stefanik, R-Schuylerville, who represents Fort Drum in Congress, as well as two leaders from the EOD Group Command Team – Col. Matt Kuhns and Cmd. Sgt. Maj. Issac Allender, while in the Capitol on Wednesday.
Grieve and Lindsey are a part of the 760th Ordnance Company, 192nd EOD Batallion, 52nd EOD Group, based out of Fort Drum. They competed in the all-Army contest in late April at Fort Liberty, North Carolina.
For their victory, Grieve and Lindsey were awarded Meritorious Service Medals and championship belts.
Stefanik, in a statement, said she was honored to meet with the two Fort Drum soldiers.
“NY-21 is incredibly proud of Fort Drum Staff Sgt. Tyler Grieve and Sgt. Tristin Lindsey who won the all-Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team of the Year competition in April,” she said. “Staff Sgt. Grieve and Sgt. Lindsey prevailed over other highly qualified and well-trained EOD teams in the challenge that required responding to explosive devices, conducting night operations, completing a 12-mile ruck, along with various other missions. As Fort Drum’s chief advocate in Congress and as a member of the EOD Caucus, it was a pleasure and an honor to meet with these incredible service members.”
