HARRISBURG, Pa. — A former Guardsman is being honored with an award for heroism in Iraq more than three years ago.

Jason Harrington, of Lancaster, Pa., will receive the Silver Star during a ceremony Saturday in Harrisburg.

It’s the third-highest decoration for members of the U.S. armed forces.

His actions were credited with saving the lives of fellow soldiers during an incident in Iraq in September 2005.

Harrington finished his Guard service in 2006.
