I come to this newsgroup for information about military aviation, my hobby, not for political ranting by unqualified individuals, not necessarily you.

Subject: Swift Boat Guys Caught in Some Great Big Lies
From: (OXMORON1) Date: 8/20/2004 10:38 AM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: Steve asked: What was the criteria for the award of the battle star? You'll have to get that answer from one of the WWII guys. During that time I was about two years old. I think, repeat "think", don't know for sure that it was based on your personnel records, unit assignment, military specialty and dates. Military award regulations change all the time and I don't have access to the regulations or history Rick Let me see if I can simplify this complex question. There was a battle going on in the Po Valley in Northern Italy.. I flew a mission to the Po valley so I got a battle star indicating that I had been in that battle. There was a war going on in central Europe. I flew missions over central europe, so I got a battle star for the battle of central europe. Tell me if that is too complicted and I will try to rephrase it in a simpler manner. Any questions?.

"ArtKramr" wrote in message ... Yeah I was there and fought in that and many other battles. A hell of a lot more than you ever did wannabee.. But many others were there and fought in many battles yet they are still able to engage in civil discourse. What's different about you? |

So when someone brags about how many
missions they flew the best reply is: Really? Where and when? Arthur Kramer 344th BG 494th BS England, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany Visit my WW II B-26 website at: http://www.coastcomp.com/artkramer Wrong again ART, The best reply is " THANKS". Jack G. |
