FORT BRAGG -- A paratrooper with the  82nd Airborne Division is presented with the Bronze Star Medal for the heroic actions he took  after his vehicle was blasted by an  IED.

Sgt. Nikolas Ramirez feels he did not do anything special.

Wednesday, he was presented with the Bronze Star and the  Purple Heart for what he did back in August in Afghanistan when the vehicle he was in was hit by an explosive device.  Two of his comrades were killed and Ramirez suffered lots of injuries.  Despite that, Sgt. Ramirez went back into the  burning wreck to rescue another soldier.
