Medals

Clapman
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.

Spraynpray
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.

Wrench
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.

Clapman
Performed incredible acts of competence under extreme circumstances, often having to juggle the needs of multiple wounded in different states and defending their own aid station against enemy attacks. At one point Clapman was so absorbed try to save the lives of fellow marines she passed out of wounds she had sustained but had not noticed to treat.

Spraynpray
Whilst under threat of imminent artillery strike Spray ran into the strike zone, retrieved needed supplies and carried almost to the outside of the beaten One even as rounds descended. Whilst spray was injured in their actions the supplies, badly needed by a depleted squad, survived and allowed EGR to stay on tasking.

Wrench
For blowing up a recoilless truck, which was being a massive knobend.

Wrench
At point blank range Wrench engaged and destroyed an enemy armoured vehicle that was engaging the unit with sustained and direct HE fire. Wrench used the limited cover available to advance on the vehicle and then engaged it close in to maximise the chance of doing any damage. Even as friendly HE rounds were falling short around him, Wrench continued to engage the enemy vehicle, until it blew up under the weight of his gunfire. So close was he to the vehicle he was injured in the blast.
