The language of a military citation is very precise and is taken very seriously as the citation makes its way through numerous reviews. To describe this language as "boilerplate" tells me that you have no experience in this matter.
A military citation, especially for a Silver Star, is not treated quite the same as a corporate Letter of Appreciation from the HR Director.
This rewritten citation is completely out of the norm, yet you want to see it as a simple administrative "sanfu". That is your right, but among those who know, it makes you look ignorant.
I will STFU forthwith, sir.
Thank you for your service.
The language is boilerplate and I have a lot of experience in this matter. The specific combat details are not, but the rest of it is. The boiler-plate may have changed from epoch to epoch.
Since you are personally experienced in the issuing of citations, can you tell me something? Is there any legitimate reason of which you're aware that a request to re-issue a citation would result in something other than a copy of the original citation?
Thank you for your service.
