Early on I mentioned that I thought she should get the Congressional Medal of Freedom and someone suggested we all write to our reps in Washington. Anyone think that would help?
I know how to contact my reps. I am asking if the road towards a (military) medal is via petitioning our congress critters, or if it's up to the chief of staff from a particular branch jump starting the process, etc.
God Bless her. I hope she gets the Congressional Medal of Freedom.
I also pray she makes a complete recovery!
Actually, it's the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Congress gets their award. Only fair the executive branch gets theirs. And yes, she does deserve it. Pity she didn't kill him. Now we're going to spend millions and probably a decade prosecuting him, not to mention the cost of his education (got to be a half-million there). I wish her a speedy and full recovery.
Oh, and BTW, the press should put accuracy above their burning desire to be first. Virtually nothing that was reported that night was accurate (other than somebody was shooting the place up).

Reason: Spelling error. Never catch them until somebody quotes me.

I stand corrected. Thank you.

RIP my friends Greg and Florence, see you again on the other side.

I don't think the critters have anything direct to do with it, but if someone, say the chairman of the armed services committee, were to ask Sec Defense what's being done to get this person the recognition they're due, it would likely grease the chute a bit. Probably need to be recommended by the commander of the base in a case like this. I'm sure pressure will come from above if he's slow to do it.
Seriously....??? But then you'll have to change your Location (under your avatar) to read: land of the free, except for Muslims...
Doesnt sound so smart now does it....???
Circa 1942-45, did we change our description to 'Land of the free, except for Nazis, Fascists, and Japanese Imperialists'? Excluding followers of an intolerant murderous totalitarian ideology does not violate the principles of freedom. And if any confuse sharia with freedom, I suggest they move to Pakistan for awhile. A Christian friend of mine from Karachi told me what it was like.

Gotta agree with this. Those who plot to destroy our freedom ought not to be "free" to carry out their plans on our soil. There's a term to describe those who think otherwise... useful idiots. Useful to Communism, useful to radical Islam... useful, in general, to the enemies of liberty.

Actually, a LOT of Japanese-Americans were sent to Internment Camps:
Nisei were second generation
Sansei were THIRD generation Americans
Yeah they got a pretty bad deal in the war.
The Germans actually were raising funds in the US prior to the war. They had a rather elaborate system going and a lot of people donated money here not realizing what they supported.
