minor detail - you don’t “win” the Navy Cross
“minor detail - you don’t “win” the Navy Cross”
Well you sure don’t go buy the ba$tard at the store. I hate those sorority rules and terms the remfs come up with. For all of living memory “winning” a medal has been a common widespread term. There isn’t a thing wrong with it. A million times I hear people “won” this medal, etc. This is like Emily Post for military terms.
Now being a prig.... THAT’S an actual offense.
You are correct. Apologies; medals are rightly earned and received.
