The Walter's want to steal Lynch's glory??? What is her glory! She did nothing glorious! Sgt. Walters fought to the death and his parents are "despicable" for wanting the world to know that???

Do you see now why such things matter, Prodigal Son???

Pardon my French, but how the hell do you know?

What are you so outraged about? Joesnuffy's got these medals, he said it's not that big a deal and he values a couple of his other medals much more. Is your fight over this worth denigrating a POW's service on her day of celebration?

I take it the extra two question marks mean you really want to know?

I had a fellow in my platoon who was awarded the Bronze Star in Desert Storm with V device for valor. And a purple heart. You know what he did? He was driving an M106A2 Mortar Carrier that was fired on by a BMP. A piece of shrapnel nicked his heel. He doesn't even have a scar. Did he ever shoot at the enemy in that engagement? No. He drove the track to a standstill without flipping it and leapt out to help establish a perimeter.

When you got your Bronze Star, what did you have to do?
