I would exercise caution in stories such as these. Navy regulations forbid an officer recommending himself for a commendation for valor. An officer may recieve a commendation for the silver star if he is nominated by his commanding officer and it is subsequently approved by a commendation board. The silver star is awarded from action reports, testimony of those who participated in the action ( save the nominee), the evaluation of his commander and the commendation board.
The Bronze star is awarded at the immediate command level and requires no commendation board review.

**In the senate, Kerry has a reputation for trying to have things both ways. Kerry exhibited this tendency early on at an antiwar protest in which he flung medals over a fence at the White House — but the medals weren't his own.**
