Sergeant

562nd Engineer Company, 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team (Fort Wainwright, Alaska); mounted patrol, Mosul, Iraq, 29 Jun 2006

Documented decorations

Bryan Luckey’s Bronze Star Medal and Purple Heart are named in the Department of Veterans Affairs’ #VeteranOfTheDay profile of his Army service. This decorations page records those two types from that VA list. It will not invent a Combat “V” or oak-leaf count the VA paragraph does not carry.

Born 27 August 1980 in Tampa, Florida, Luckey served with the 562nd Engineer Company, 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team. On 29 June 2006 he was killed by an enemy sniper on a mounted patrol in Mosul. He was twenty-five. The VA page also lists Airborne and Sapper schools and a Combat Action Ribbon among other commendations; those are not chips on this awards row. He was laid to rest at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell. The Bronze Star Medal and Purple Heart are the published decoration names.

This name is not yet on a war-roll essay. The decorations above are the documented public record this register will stand on until that essay is written.

A publisher register — not a verification

This decorations register is publisher-curated from public records — Medal of Honor Society citations, published general orders, and official Army, Navy, and Marine Corps biographies. It is not a verified-veteran product. Notice Nearby does not certify service and does not issue badges.

A paid or unpaid memorial does not enroll anyone here. Checkout, VET50, and a family’s mention of service on an obituary are not applications to this list. We add a name only when a public official source names the decoration.

Claiming a decoration that was not awarded is stolen valor. It is a disrespect to those who earned the medal and, in some cases, a federal crime. This register will not invent an award to fill a page.

These pages are a historical register. They are not Legal Publication, not a newspaper notice, and not proof that a statute was satisfied.
