To: Rodney King
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.

Put your finger pointing at that person. I never pointed it at Lynch.

Anyone who genuinely got injured from an authentic combat wound deserves the PH, you especially.
Corpsmen Rock!
