I can tell you that I have an Air Medal pending and I got an Letter of Counseling for fighting. Other than that, were just telling the Iraqis how to protect themselves and what the US was doing in support of their liberation, even as some of them were lobbing stuff at us. In other words, typical stuff. 😉 ---
