And as my Uncle (put up for a Silver Star, received Bronze Star for actions after D-Day) told me "I did nothing more than follow my instincts and training in order to save my own life and the others around me. There are others still out there who are the Heroes. And no one knows about them or what they did."

Yeah, you're right, but they still didn't get the same respect as a Koean war vet or WW2 vet, and that's not right.
