I was talking with my sis-in-law today about whether PFC Lynch will recieve a combat medal seeing that she put some lead in a few of those chicken soup smelling mothers.
She said that she thought they can't give her one unless they change some rule they have about women not being eligable.
Anyone know anything about this?

Politically speaking, I can't see how she won't get the Congressional Medal of Honor.......

She will get all theater ribbons (as all do ) . She will get the Purple Heart in addition.

Nah - They GOTTA give her a combat medal!
The combat CAME TO HER, she wasn't ordered into it!
