The NAS Whiting Field Corpsman received the medal for heroic action while serving with an Army unit in Iraq.Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman Reginald C. Dean Awarded Bronze Star
I guess it is OK, but I would much rather see an Admiral or a uniformed service member pinning a medal on another service member. I know, the Sec of the Navy is a pretty big shot, but he isn't IN the Navy.
It just got under my skin is all.
The Chief is a very brave man, and a salute to him.....Congrats.....Bob
Congratulations to Corpsman Dean.
Well done Senior Chief Dean. I never saw a Corpsman above the Rank of E6 out stomping with the troops in 'Nam. Wonder why the Senior Chief was out there instead of some of the younger "cannon fodder"
"corpsmen are the most decorated of any other corps in the Navy"
Ask any Marine and they will tell you why that is a fact...
