The Silver Star is a big one. You should be very proud.
John Kerry won one, right?
My platoon leader had two Silvers and six Purple Hearts. My platoon sergeant had no medals. I asked the sergeant, how come? He told me that purple hearts were for careless soldiers. He wore several campaign ribbons, but no jewelry on them. He also used to march us three miles to crawl through a culvert rather than cross a road.
He won our hearts and minds.
