Danville soldier earns Bronze Star for heroism in Iraq

DANVILLE – It wasn't until weeks later, recovering in a U.S. hospital, that Dann Hufford realized his actions in Iraq could be considered heroic.

"I had no idea what I had really done," said the 22-year-old Danville native, whose actions in an ambush in Baghdad, Iraq, saved his own life and those of four other U.S. servicemen.
