[QUOTE=Gil Boyd;453618]Many men in fact on returning from war, either threw their medals away in disgust in the way they had found their country on their return, with noone really caring about what they had seen or did during the time away, or never were issued any to start with. That was my Uncle Raymond S Holsti he was not too happy getting a medal for all the men he had to kill just to survive and protect his unit. His DSC ended up in the Missouri River. He was a man that lived every moment of his life fuller than any man I have ever met though. He used to say he lived through Hell and Had nothing to worry about in the hearafter. Attachment 100828
