Thanks for the info. I wasn't questioning her POW medal or her Purple Hearts. Apparently, I was misinformed as to the nature of the Bronze Star. I said early on that if they are going to give them to everybody, then fine. Apparently they are just about giving them to everybody, so I have no specific basis for complaint.

I was awarded a Bronze Star, while a Corpsman with the Marines in 1969/70. I was doing my job, I didn't ask for the recognition, and I'm sure she didn't ask for a Bronze, however someone with a very HIGH rank made the decision. Put your finger pointing at that person. I have seen the Purple Heart given for a simple little piece of shrapnel. I have about four pieces still in my back, I didn't recieve the PH, the gut I was treating lost his legs. I didn't deserve it for a scratch or two.

Don't worry, I saw a Bronze Star awarded to an admim officer a few weeks ago. Left me shaking my head.
