Our buddy, Jeff Schogol at Stares & Stripes<\/a> emails us a link to an article about SFC Alwyn Cashe Who is being recommended for an upgrade of the Silver Star he was awarded for his actions in Iraq to the Medal of Honor, by one of our other buddies, Doug Sterner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Apparently, someone goofed up Cash’s headstone by etching the wrong award on it;<\/p>\n

Cashe\u2019s family said Army officials had promised to replace the headstone with one acknowledging his Silver Star, but years have passed without any replacement arriving. The mistake is just the latest headache for the hero\u2019s family, who have also struggled to get their deceased soldier\u2019s awards records and medical files, as well as reimbursement for some funeral costs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cashe was awarded the Silver Star for repeatedly entering a burning Bradley Fighting vehicle to rescue his troops, and the Army can’t even get his headstone straight over the years?<\/p>\n

Here’s the link to Stars & Stripes’ article<\/a> about the battle for Cashe’s MOH.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
