CARSON CITY, Nev. -- Two Nevada National Guard soldiers have been awarded medals for their military service and acts of bravery in Iraq and Afghanistan.

During a ceremony Monday, Gov. Jim Gibbons presented Staff Sgt. Derek Casto of Carson City with a Bronze Star and Purple Heart for showing exceptional courage and leadership in the face of enemy fire. He was injured while on a mission in Afghanistan.

Staff Sgt. Arland Stalker, of Sandy Valley, was awarded a Purple Heart for injuries suffered when an explosive device detonated near his vehicle while serving with the Nevada Army Guard's 593rd Transportation Company in Iraq.
