Missouri Air National Guard Brig. Gen. Jon Kelk stands on the ladder of the F-15 that he flew in the Iraq war when he was credited with the first aerial victory of that conflict, an Iraqi Mig 29, for which he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. He's in a hangar at the 104th Fighter Wing at the Barnes Air National Guard Base.

A Distinguished Flying Cross for shooting down an Iraqi plane?

I guess they award Silver Stars for showing up to work on time.
