It is important to note that from all the descriptions I have read, the medal is not for killing people, but for putting themselves in the line of fire or immediate danger to protect and safe the brothers and sisters in the honoree’s unit. Even though I do not agree with the war in Iraq, I go up to any soldier I see and thank them for putting themselves in harms way. It’s something we failed to do in Vietnam.
Just a thought
From all the reports I have read, the medal is given not for killing people, but for the recipient putting them selves in the line of fire or extreme danger in the attempt to aid, save or protect their brothers and sisters within their unit. There is a reason all personal, no matter the rank, will salute first, even if the honoree is only a private. They salute the courage of the honoree and their selfless devotion to protecting the United States.
Even though I don’t and never have agreed with our participation in Iraq, I never fail to go up to a Soldier, Sailor, Marine or Airman and thank them for putting themselves at risk in service to our country. It’s something we failed to do in Vietnam.
