Medal of Honor recipient returns to active duty

Medal of Honor recipient Capt. William Swenson is back on active duty.

Swenson, who originally left the Army in 2011, is assigned to I Corps at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., corps spokesman Col. David Johnson confirmed to Army Times.

Swenson returned to active duty last month, signing in to I Corps on March 14. He is serving as a plans officer at I Corps headquarters.

He did not immediately respond to an interview request.

Swenson received the nation’s highest award for valor during a White House ceremony Oct. 15 for actions during a deadly 2009 battle in Afghanistan.
