| Army Sgt. Tim "Gus" Gustafson was riding shotgun in the Humvee when the bomb went off under the right front tire, a few feet from his right leg.
Gustafson recounted the attack Wednesday at the Pentagon, shortly after senior military officials awarded him the Army's Combat Action Badge. That is a new award for any soldier who performs satisfactorily in combat. He already had received a purple heart.
