That always pissed me off. From what I read, there was a black woman who actually shot back but given no recognition. Sheesh, being in the wrong place at the wrong time and doing nothing and later found in a hospital makes someone a hero?
However, will give her credit for denying the heroism. Still, the brass gave her a Bronze Star just for getting blown up and captured. That medal used to mean more.
The black girl didn’t do anything either, although she did say that she fired a shot at “the tree line”, she was also awarded the Bronze Star for valor.
