Heard from him last night-he's doing well. The best part of this tale is that he was actually TDY from OSD when all this happened. Not to many folks winning DSCs in TDY status from the bowels of the Pentagon.

Yes Sir, saw the news on the AKO website.
Jim is good people, but I never expected anything like this.
How many O-6s do you see leading a small unit action in a firefight and earning a DSC?
Thought the patch he was wearing on his left sleeve looked pretty funny while he was getting the award.
Probably hasn't happened lately.
Congrats to Jim!
TR
