I have done two google searchs to find a bronze star with valor list for marines in Iraq. The closest I got was some stories on individual winners. Looking for a list for 2003-5.


TOPICS: Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: bronzestar; bronzestarwvalor; iraq; marine; medals; military; usmc
appreciate any help

I'm pretty sure John Kerry won one. OK, that was in Vietnam, but I believe he has submitted the paperwork to be awarded another one for Iraq on the basis of his heroic action of voting for the $62 billion before he voted against it.

It was worth a try. I wonder if the website would respond to an inquiry from you? Just a thought.

I hope you are eventually successful.Best wishes.

Wouldn't being married to Tey-ray-sa qualify him for a Purple Heart with money-bag clusters?

I did a search and the press releases came up. I went through them and didn't find my guy. He is a 27 year old gunny. He was the communications Staff Sgt for the marine commander.

Forgot the general's name. He was the one who said he smiles when killing the enemy. He moved around alot. Our friend saved his a$% on two occasions. On one he tracked down the shooter of a rocket which blew up the vehicle in front of him. Gave orders and got everyone situated. Took a marine and tracked down, trapped and killed the bad guys.

As far as I know only non-infantry gunny promotion.

The general did the write up for the medal.
