The Bronze Star request for clarification is important because it indicates whether the Army thought his actions were heroic.  The V device is reserved for an act of heroism and is second lowest award for heroism.  A regular Bronze Star, awarded for service in a combat zone is a routine award for career officers of his rank.  The Purple Heart is awarded automatically to an injury that occurred as a result of action taken by the enemy.  Purpose for asking is not be belittle, as your small mind suggests, but to clarify for non-military types who read the forum.  Why should we allow three liberal idiots take of the Forum?
