Medal Star Silver

People who are awarded the Silver Star get t because they put their lives in significant danger over and above the normal danger associated with combat. That they do it on covert missions only makes sense. The people we send on those missions tend to be some of most highly trained operators… the ninja of the military. They are called triple volunteers, they volunteer to join the military, volunteer for airborne training, and then volunteer for some of the toughest training in the world.

Medal Star Silver

Anyone who has earned a silver star is a person you want as a friend. They have shown they will do all they can for those they care about and call friends to even die for them if it means saving their lives. Not many people can say they would do this but those who have a silver star have done it at least once. My hat is off to anyone who has earned this medal.
