I am Cornelius Brandon Dickson. I go by Brandon but all my military awards read Cornelius.

I entered the military in January 2000 as a Cavalry Scout. I was stationed at Fort Hood with the 1^st Cav division until 2004. I went to Fort Drum, New York in December 2004. I was in 1^st brigade 10^th mountain division 1-71 Cav. We deployed to Iraq July 05, 2004 - July 06, 2004 in the Baghdad area. I earned the Bronze Star with Valor, Purple Heart and Army commendation medals for this deployment.

I then deployed to Iraq again in August 2007 - September 2008. Most of those operations are still classified. I can say that my unit was assigned to JSOC and part of a specific fight against Al Qaeda in Iraq. I earned the Bronze Star for actions during this deployment.

My next deployment was to Iraq again with 2^nd brigade 10^th mountain div 1-89 Cav. We conducted operations outside Baghdad area. I again received the Bronze Star medal for actions during this deployment.

I was honorably discharged from the Army in October 2010. I did a short time in the Arkansas National Guard August 2011 - May 2013 when I was medically discharged for PTSD.
