 But he said, one of my superior officers told me that you're nothing but a private first class and they don't get that to put you in for the Bronze Star instead of the Distinguished Service Cross. And I looked at this man and I said, sir, I'm not here for any medals or ribbons on my chest or uniform. I just would like to get home and be a coach, a teacher, and a father. So I got that Bronze Star with V for Valor. I earned another one 40 years later.
