Lurch's Bronze Star is obviously the result of a post-war lobbying campaign by ... someone who wanted him to have another medal. It is better for someone if this isn't too obvious.

Wrong. His Bronze Star was awarded shortly after the incident.

The unusual aspect of the story is that the citation was re-issued by Lehman's office years later rather than being replaced with a certified copy as would normally be done.

Well, I can't guess right ALL the time! ;)
