Afghanistan Airfield Raid 2001-2002

I recently read up on the history of 3rd Ranger Bn following the events of 9/11. I read that elements of the 3rd Ranger BN Parachuted into and secured a desert airstrip in late Oct 2001. I was trying to find out if during that raid if there were many wounded or during that combat engagement. I'm Army retired and working in corporate america. There is a individual in my company by the name of Steve Norris who claims he was shot coming down in his parachute. Claims he was shot a second time in in the same combat operation. He claims he was awarded the Silver Star of his actions. I checked the list of Army Silver Star Awardees and he wasn't on the list at all. The guy is just not right. Many red flags in his stories. Need a real Ranger to help me figure out if this is true. Please Help.

I was on a different mission that night (19Oct2001). I do know there were no GSWs on that mission. There were two injuries on the jump that I remember but none from enemy fire.

Thanks for the help. I'm closing in. I'm not a Ranger what's a GSWs?
