Medals

Bronze Star Medal
Reason: AWARDED Bronze Star Medal (BSM) for dedicated and heroic acts of competence providing solo medical support to multiple wounded while defending the aid station at the same time, at one point being so absorbed with saving the lives of their fellow marines that they passed out from their wounds sustained but which they had not had time to treat during village clearance of hostile forces during Operation Sousaphone Servitude.

Bronze Star Medal
Reason: POSTHUMOUSLY AWARDED Bronze Star Medal (BSM) for heroically entering an incoming artillery strike zone to withdraw a supply canister, sustaining serious injuries from the falling rounds but in doing so preserving the supplies without which the platoon might well have been forced to abandon the mission during Operation Sousaphone Servitude. (by Admin)
Bronze Star Medal
Reason: AWARDED Bronze Star Medal (BSM) for near-suidical heroism in closing with an enemy armoured vehicle that was engaging the unit with sustained and direct HE fire, using the limited cover available to advance and then attacking the vehicle at extremely short ranges to maximise the potential for damage, distracting the occupants of the vehicle such that friendly HE attacks could disable it, accepting the wounds from the detonations of the vehicle as necessary during sweep and clearance missions as part of Operation Sousaphone Servitude.
