I saw this story on ABC News Tonight and Elizabeth Vargas kept on saying that the soldier "won" the medal. IT WAS EARNED ELIZABETH not won!

Welcome to the club Sergeant Hester. And thanks to your other teammates that were awarded medals for engaging the enemy too. God bless all our troops!

Excellent job!
Now, how long before the Dems start painting her as a baby killer and find some way to discredit her and demand she give back her Silver Star?
Oh, that's right...it'll happen right here with the "women don't belong in combat" minions, LOL! ;)

Damn! I salute.
I have this picture in my head - she has children and they are at the dating stage. She comes to the door to meet the young person who is taking her child out on a date.
She casually drops, "By the way - I earned the Silver Star for killing scum - when I was 23 years old".
