And if she were black or other minority, would you be saying that just because of her minority status she was awarded a medal? Shame on you---we need young people who have the initiative to join the armed service to advance their prospects in life and Jessica is a shining example of a good American woman.

So what you are saying then is that everyone should get a medal? And by the way, I never once said anything bad about her or blamed her for anything. That I keep getting accused of it just shows the lack of logic of opponenets.
