Apparently, the xommittee charged with approving the inscriptions on the bricks are unmitigated morons because they can&#8217;t tell the difference between bronze servie stars and the Bronze Star Medal;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI warned them (the memorial park committee) about putting the Bronze Star on the application, because I knew it would cause confusion,\u201d said [Bruce] Kendrick, an Army vet. \u201cI made a presentation to the committee last year in November showing them the difference in the actual awards and what they were giving credit for in awards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the response \u2014 that they would not change the inaccuracies \u2014 caused him to resign from the committee.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, everyone gets a Bronze Star Medal, huh? I guess that doesn&#8217;t affectine at all does it? Honest mistake, right? Wasn&#8217;t there a mayor near Chicago who got a pass for making the same mistake claiming four Bronze Star Medals when they were really just service stars? I think TSO wrote about that one.<\/p>\n<p>Why have a committee designed to ferret out errors if they&#8217;re not going to ferret out errors? I&#8217;d blame the families, too, but generally famles are just idiots who never paid attention to anything they were told and don&#8217;t know the difference between a handjob and a hand grenade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AGeorgia town is embroiled in controversy over commemorative bricks in a local park according to the &hellip; <a title=\"Bronze Star confusion\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=27350\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Bronze Star confusion<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[118],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-veterans-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27350"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27350\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
