Nick was awarded the prestigious Combat Action Badge while serving in Iraq. While on a mission, his vehicle encountered an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). No US Soldiers were injured, but a civilian Iraqi truck driver was injured and in need of medical attention. The Combat Medic on Nick's vehicle responded to this driver. Due to their response actions and bravery in a combat situation, they were recognized with the Combat Action Badge.
