Tangentially related to /k/, but part of military culture. I thought it could make for an interesting discussion.
Medals of Honor. Anyone know anyone who's gotten one? I'm sure it's a boost to one's career. It's tradition for Marines of any rank to salute any Marine wearing the medal, you know.
Anyone know anyone who obtained any other high-end medals? Silver Star? Bronze Star?

grandfather got silver and bronze stars in WWII.
Was shot down in a B-17 and saved some of his crewmates lives even though his leg was mostly blown off. Leg got partially fixed in rehab, but he couldn't really walk too well for the rest of his life.
Didn't really ever talk about it; only reason I know is because of news clippings my dad showed me.
