Please tell me about the bronze star. :-D
It was for Meritorious Service in East Baghdad, for leadership on over 200 missions, for leading in battle with no casualties, among other stellar things (including some that he didn't tell his Mom had happened. :)
He actually got it in Iraq, but was re-awarded it here in the states so that we could particpate (and cry!).
He was right next to Sadr City when they flushed out the thugs, so it was dicey for a while. His mission was part of the Petraeus plan, and it must have worked, because we've gotten the victory that President Bush fought so hard (nearly alone) to achieve.
We're very, VERY proud!
