Bronze Star, at least.

Better be more than a Bronze Star... In Gulf War I they gave out Bronze Stars for just about anything. Our Battalion Commander's secretary got one. In a REMF unit to boot!

Wow. One of the guys on my dad's medical team on Iwo Jima was killed in action after having refused evac when he was shot in the arm. He got a posthumous Bronze Star. I guess times have changed.
