I am Sgt Sakowski I was ther with Lt Posselt that day he did amazing things. I called him last week 2 days after june 14 and he told me they mailed his bronze star to him he was not made but it made me a little up set to know thats how we honor are people like Lt posselt.
Good job Marines! Your nation is proud of you.
Lt Posselt is the WHY to Corps works well - all the NCOs will be the first that an effective officer will ensure unit cohesion, focus on mission, S&H and morale.
AS far as mailing the medal to him, it beats a unit Commander causally tossing him the medal and saying - good job on the way out the door.
Whatever company lands this individual is inheriting a gold mine.
