Two sergeants who helped restrain the gunman during the Aug. 6, 2025, Fort Stewart shooting received the Soldier’s Medal, the Army’s highest peacetime commendation.

Sgts. Aaron Turner and Michael Boron were recognized for their actions. Turner confronted and helped restrain Sgt. Quornelius Radford. Boron, a medic and evacuation squad leader, also helped restrain Radford.

Six soldiers received Meritorious Service Medals for confronting and subduing the gunman and treating five wounded people.

Radford was tried and convicted at a court-martial in June and received six life sentences, with eligibility for parole.
