MECEP: SSgt Langley was accepted to Texas A&M as part of the MECEP program. He attended the university from Aug 1995 to May 1998 whereupon he graduated with a Bachelors Degree in History.
Iraqi Freedom: Earned a Bronze Star and a Navy Marine Commendation Medal. More important of the two was the Commendation Medal presented to Captain Kevin S. Langley for Meritorious Service while serving in Iraq. Driving from I MEF to Ad Diwaniyah, Iraq, Capt Langley witnessed a young Iraqi boy struck by an Iraqi vehicle. Acting quickly he assisted the boy’s father in basic lifesaving measures, and loaded the boy into his vehicle. He safely transported the injured boy to the surgical team where the boy underwent several hours of surgery. Capt Langley’s swift actions helped to save the injured boy’s life and certainly contributed to improved relations with the local Iraqi community. Captain Langley’s initiative, perseverance and total dedication to duty reflected great credit upon him and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.
Retirement: Retired 30 June 2008 in Woodbridge, VA.
