Different when you get a "V" device attached to it. Our higher ups got Bronze Stars too, when some of my guys got ARCOM's with a "V" device.
God Bless the hospital/medic folk and the dustoff pilots. They're some true heroes when you need them. I'll never forget watching a female dustoff pilot setting her Blackhawk down, while we were taking contact, in between 2 power lines. She got that big green bitch down on a narrow 2-lane road so we could load up the wounded. Those folks deserve just as much credit as any ground pounder.
