The other thing you did was read the commendations regarding the award of the Medal of Honor to something like 16 men who'd served in that unit over a couple of centuries. There were plenty of other awards to read ~ by 9 May 1945, besides 16 recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor their World War II casualties included 1,633 killed, 5,812 wounded, and 419 missing in action.
It wasn't a sad thing ~ these were all in praise of heroism of a degree you just cannot imagine. More than one fellow saved the lives of his comrades, or performed heroically to bring to a quick close the pursuit of war in his local area.
These were celebratory things about heroes who'd done deeds of valor and charity.
(BTW, 1st & 15th was Audie Murphy's unit)
Frankly, there is no problem whatsoever with Michelle's dress. I read the commendation for this young man. It doesn't matter who wore what or when they wore it. These are not things that count in the face of intense heroism.
Let's praise the brave man who gave everything.
BTW, it's 1/15, 1st Batallion, 15th Infantry Regiment, not 1 & 15. (I served in 2/15, in Germany in the mid-70's...)
