Kurt Muse Biography

For his role in overthrowing Panamanian General Manuel Noriega, Kurt Muse received the Army's Freedom Team Salute Commendation. Muse, an Army veteran, established a bandit radio station in Panama in the 1980s, broadcasting words of freedom to Panamanians. He was apprehended and held for nine months. The Voice of Liberty radio station urged Panamanians to vote Noriega out of office. "We implore you to vote," said one broadcast. "We can bury General Noriega's regime under a pile of ballots if we work together." The United States Military started Operation Just Cause, the liberation of Panama, twenty years ago on December 20, 1989, featuring the greatest parachute combat jump since WWII and the largest military operation since Vietnam. One of the first things I did was set Muse free. Soldiers from the Army Delta Force descended on the top of Muse's jail and neutralized the guards. Muse's cell was then blown open, and he was taken to the aircraft. Their plane caught fire and crashed shortly after taking off. Muse and his rescuers were taken away to safety by an armored vehicle. Muse returned to the United States just in time for Christmas with his family. Colonel David Griffith, the Director of Freedom Team Salute, described Kurt Muse as a patriot. "To be able to commemorate him for the sacrifices he made in the service of freedom is a pleasure." Freedom Team Salute is a program run by the Secretary of the Army and the Army Chief of Staff that allows anybody to express "Thank You" to discharged Army Veterans or civilians who assist Soldiers. It also allows Soldiers to thank their parents, spouses, and other family members for their support and sacrifice. Soldiers in the National Guard and Reserve can also respect their employers. The Freedom Team Salute Commendation includes a personalized Army lapel pin as well as a Certificate of Appreciation and Letter of Thanks signed by the Secretary of the Army and Army Chief of Staff.
