The Mighty Ninth

Strive To Reach The Summit

Bronze Star Ceremony
After I returned home, I didn't know that I was put in for any award.  Then I got a letter asking if I wanted a formal military color guard presentation.  Since I was back home living with my widowed mother and two younger sisters, I said "yes" mainly for their benefit.  Sure enough, they had me go to the Louisiana National Guard barracks where they called out the Color Guard and I was presented my Bronze Star.

Maybe I should go back for my Air Medal? Never got that one.
