The former Army Staff Sargent has received the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, the Conspicuous Service Cross and been recommended for the Medal of Honor for actions taken in a fierce urban firefight during the 2004 Battle of Fallujah. Bellavia, a member of the New York Veteran's Hall of Fame, tells us his story of being in battle as well as his experience going back to Iraq as an embedded journalist.
