The sad thing is that in SF they are INCREDIBLY stingy with medals and we won't have all of the "storied" people to parade around in 20 years. No MOH's, few (if any) DSC's, VERY few Silver Stars.

The SS has become the new SF MOH, IMHO. I've read a BSM-V citation for a guy that did exactly, to the letter, what Audie Murphy did to win his MOH.

While the rest of the military hands out awards like candy, we try to over-preserve the integrity of ours.
