What the Tillman's should demand....
Edited on Mon Mar-26-07 11:41 PM by catnhatnh
...(in addition to punishment of malfeasence)...at some point in the past there was a presentation to the family of the Silver Star for valor above and beyond etc...and in point of fact Patrick is not qualified for this award-not by any personal failure, but only because the award itself was a cynical attempt to co-opt his life for propaganda purposes by "officers and gentlemen" who have no proper claim to either title.Were I one of the Tillman's I would call for an equivalent de-medaling ceremony with equivalent press coverage as to the original...the same people to both take the medal back and explain both why this is necessary and appropriate and the moral failings that led to the charade...Patrick was both lion brave and warrior fierce and killed by poor planning and mistakes...he would both recognize and approve I think of such a ceremony...afterward congress could pass a resolution recognizing the true nature of his extreme dedication to service to his country...
On Edit:and yes-this would be a good name for an army post or naval vessel-a true patriots name...

2. WOW...
...I just read the families statement and they are WAY ahead of me on this...I had read they were angry about this but these wonderful people continue to blow me away...An AP feed is OK but I'd love to see a full press conference and photo op.I wish someone would suggest it to them-it is obvious the contempt in which they hold the false award...
