TR:
Thanks for your info. (edit: I had read that the grenade hit his chest and he fell on it). That goes to filling that huge gap of "what I don't know" and helps me sort things out in my mind.
Soldierdoc:
I'm not taking any offense, and apreciate your thoughts and feedback. I completely agree that its the man and not the medal. In the end, they are true heroes. What is under my skin is the aparent similarity in actions, yet very differnt judgments (and places in history) that the varied awards bring. It just seems like an injustice.
As for being disingenuous (had to look it up), about all I know of awards and the process is roughly 45 minutes of web browsing. Like I said in the original post, I don't know much; especially about the awarding process, board, combat, nor what really happened. TR helped with some of his scuttlebut.
Cheers,
Bill
