I know I'm new, but I know the history around Coral Sea, and I know what a Bronze Star is!
Congrats Bulldog!
whatever it was you did, I'm sure the "oh oh, this is gunna hurt" crossed your mind
as a Gunnie once told me - "if you don't have at least a couple times in your career moments where 'I'm either getting a medal, or going to the brig' or 'this is gonna hurt' you ain't doing it right."
