the only reason you give them :down: is because youre just tired of hearing about it. next time you make a jugdement like that, try to put urself in her shoes or her family's shoes...then maybe you'll look at it differently.
you can be proud of her and all that...but her receiving the attention she has now is not necessary. this situations happens again and again and again. its just something to be expected when serving in the armed forces. and her getting that purple metal of honor? :ugh:
if its to be made a big deal of, what happened to those that saved her?
i dun get it.
