Galloway, co-author of "We Were Soldiers Once... and Young," won a Bronze Star in Vietnam after saving the lives of several soldiers and has covered nearly every major conflict since, including the current one.
If this is true, how was it done since he was a civilian and the BSM is a strictly military award?

...As I recall,
...it was by a special Act of Congress that JOE GALLOWAY was allowed to become the 1st civilian to be awarded a Military Bronze Star.
...This was for his saving the lives of soldiers in Vietnam in 1965.
