I have never bought and never will buy or accept a medal I am not
entitled too. I was once sent a medal signifying that I was on a
ship that had been sunk during WWII which was untrue so I
sent it back. I have been awarded the following medals and bars:
Atlantic War Zone Bar and Medal
Mediterranean Middle East War Zone Bar and Medal
The Merchant Marine Combat Bar and Medal
Victory Bar and Medal
Iraq Merchant Marine Bar and Medal
A Certificate of Appreciation from President Harry Truman
A Certificate of Appreciation from Community Blood Center
for giving a Gallon of Blood
Some Bars and Medals were given automatically and some
must be asked for. Those who want to get their full share
call the Coast Guard, they had my full shipping list on their
data base.
RR, how about listing your Medals, patriot?

Stan,
No need to feel left out! You can pick up a Hero of the Soviet Union
medal on eBay for around 5 bucks. You deserve it.

Sounds like something JS was involved in way back when they
issued secret medals for something that never happened which
he is so proud of.

Obama's Kill List Sanctioned by Department of Justice: US Becomes Outlaw
Nation ...
For months, the White House has been leaking how President Obama
"carefully" reviews a kill list (assassination) of alleged terrorists (and who
knows
what other troublemakers end up on the potential target list?).
Off-the-record comments (and some on the record) are meant to reassure
Americans that
the president doesn't take the authorization of kills (with the attendant
"collateral damage" of civilians and children if a drone strike) lightly,
but seriously contemplates who ends up dead as a sanctioned hit. As has
been repeatedly noted by commentators not dazzled by the assumption of
extra-judicial death warrants, it is perplexing and dismaying that a Harvard
Law
School grad who taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago is
showing such a lethal disregard for the nation's fundamental legal document.
Deciding who shall live and who shall die is generally a power attributed
to Gods in most religions; or one can go back to history before the birth of
states founded on democracy, when tyrants and monarchs held absolute
powers. The authority Obama has assumed without any legislative or court
permission goes well beyond the Bush/Cheney torture protocol; this is a kill
list,
not just a rendition order. The condemning of a person to death without
due legal process, without habeas corpus, violates the Constitution in the
most fundamental way. In doing so, Obama is undercutting and eroding the most
basic guarantee in our legal system, at a time when the tide, ironically,
is turning against capital punishment in the US. A Washington Post article
today that reveals a hither-too classified document that adds a chilling
corroboration of what has until now only been the subject of strategic leaks
(for which we might add, no one has been prosecuted because these
classified leaks are meant to enhance President Obama's image as a tough guy):
The
United States can lawfully kill a US citizen overseas if it determines the
target is a "senior, operational leader" of al-Qaeda or an associated group
and poses an imminent threat to the United States, according to a Justice
Department document published late Monday by NBC News. The document defines
"imminent threat" expansively, saying it does not have to be based on
intelligence about a specific attack since such actions are being
"continually"
planned by al-Qaeda. "In this context," it says, "imminence must
incorporate considerations of the relevant window of opportunity" as well as
possible
collateral damage to civilians.
