Corporal Brûlé was deployed with the 53rd Engineer Squadron, in Afghanistan, from July 2007 to March 2008. Operating the lead vehicle responsible for detecting mines and roadside bombs, he participated in numerous road-opening missions in areas that were subject to enemy attacks. Despite the ever-present danger, he continually pressed on with his mission under the most challenging circumstances, minimizing the number of potential attacks against friendly forces.
