The Story:
Chief Master Sgt. Lynn helped establish the first military police academy in Iraq during his deployment from Feb. 28 to July 23, 2004. Chief Lynn and 13 Air Force security forces members renovated a bombed-out former Republican Guard base in Taji, Iraq, into the site for the new police academy. Lynn served as commandant of the school. Starting from scratch, they developed and implemented a course for the academy in just nine days. In all, Lynn and his team are credited with having graduated more than 500 military policemen and 40 military police instructors.
For his work, Lynn received the Bronze Star Medal on Dec. 14, 2004.
