PING! Medal of Honor for SCE Paul R. Smith in Iraq. Thought you might want to send this to your group.

Make the Sergeant First Class (SFC) Smith.

And from what otherwise is a very good story:

Smith is the first soldier from the Iraq war to receive the medal, which had not previously been awarded since 1993. In that year, two Army Special Services sergeants were killed in Somalia in an action described in the bestselling book Black Hawk Down

Sergeants Shugart and Gordon would probably prefer to be known as Special Forces Sergeants. Special Forces are our "fighting soldiers from the sky, fearless men who jump & die" types. Special Services runs the bowling alley.

Thanks for the ping!
