Don't remember if they were also wounded, but they were also POWs and "held their ground". As ret mil, I do have a problem with the Bronze Star. That may be a little too much, but I haven't seen the write up, so it's just speculation on my part.

Haven't heard why. ----------------------------------------- [link\|http://www.talion.com/questionw.html\|?W] Where were you in 72?

Post #111,421 by deSitter 7/25/03 9:55:13 AM Reply	Not needed There are levels of decoration for personal initiative and valor. 1) Purple Heart to anyone wounded in confrontation with enemy, for any reason. 2) Bronze Star for fortitude under stress. 3) Silver Star for the former squared. 4) CMH for "above and beyond', like cousin Audie at Holzwir. I think she deserves her medals. -drl
