Bronze_Star_Ceremony.JPGBronze Star CeremonyAfter 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.Feb 08, 2016
