Former Army Staff Sgt. Ronald Shurer, who received the Medal of Honor for repeatedly risking his own life to save others in Afghanistan, will be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery on Tuesday.
Shurer died in May at the age of 41 after a years-long lung cancer battle. He received the nation's highest valor award at the White House in 2018 for heroism during a 2008 deployment as a Green Beret medic to Shok Valley in northeastern Afghanistan.
Col. Jason Johnston, 3rd Special Forces Group's commander, said Friday that his unit's commitment to honoring Shurer's legacy is never-ending.
