SOTU featuring Sgt. Tommy Rieman
When I saw Sgt. Rieman highlighted by President Bush last night I knew his name sounded familiar. I had posted about Sgt. Rieman back on May 4, 2006. Not only did I tell about his heroic actions on Dec. 3, 2003 but also that he is now an action figure and a video character for American’s Army: Real Heroes.
A plastic mold of the action figure that will depict Army Sgt. Tommy Rieman on the day he earned his Silver Star in Iraq. Rieman is among the first participants in the “America’s Army: Real Heroes” program, which aims to honor soldiers who have shown heroism in the war on terror by making them into characters in “America’s Army,” the Army’s video game, and action figures.

Rieman is among the first participants in the “America’s Army: Real Heroes” program, which aims to honor soldiers who have shown heroism in the war on terror. Participants will have their lives and military stories recounted in “America’s Army,” the Army’s video game for personal computers and console systems. The soldiers’ likenesses are also being made into plastic action figures.
