I am in a dispute on another forum. This grunt Capt suggests that there are too many Wingers with the CAR who also have the CAC. Where can i find, if at all, the number of CAR's given out to Combat Air Crew Members??? He is implying that we Wingers tend to embellish our credentials.

Larry it sounds like the Guy has a bone to pick. I'd say its his dispute let him have it because most of us didn't go over there to NAM to get a Medal. At least I didn't and have said as much to a few Guy's and Gals(sorry to say) .Had one lady at a church to honor the Vets and to do so They wanted all of us to bring those things From each of our war's to share with the Folks. Any ways this Lady come up to me and ask if I didn't have More Medals!!??! This was said in a cocky way! Not that she really wanted to see them. SO I ___----__- waited a bit and said"You know I do have more ,but didn't think it would be right to bring them ALL" She just look at me and kind of gave me the look. AS if to say 'WHY ! YOU Glory hound"
Just isn't worth it !

Tell the grunt to give me a call or email. I can explain how I was awarded both. Whoop-de-doo!!
Besides, as I recall, our newsletter says something like, 'the best medal is a live man's smile'.

Capt with a problem
Its like the old saying , "The empty drum makes the biggest noise". We all know & respect the Grunt as the purpose of our being !! When those like the Capt brings up his bias I just turn them off. Probably reflects the lack of Combat expierience & judgement !! SF PM

Who had a choice?
I didn't want to be in the mud, I didn't ask to be in the` mud. But "THERE I WAS". Do we not then fight? This lowly enlisted puke was not ask or consulted on what he wanted to be cited for. The papers I have were written by someone else and signed by the CO. Tell the Captain it was not my fault.
