I'm at a loss on this Marine and the other Marine (Sgt Rafael Peralta) who was supposedly shot in the head seconds before falling on a grenade in their truck saving the lives of everyone inside. Sure he got a Navy Ship named after him, but this is wrong. We need to do better. It's an award no one really wants, but if they're deserving of it, the behind the scenes BS needs to stop.

SFC Craig Dalen - I am a victim of the system too. I never got the Bronze Star, I was deserved. You know, now my career is over. It's sweeter than any award. Glad to have served when looking back.

Sounds like MoH material to me. One of the sad things when you hear story like this all the time of someone who went unnoticed, when they did something like this.

Sadly the Bronze Star is just the Senior NCO/Officer Achievement medal...

The day you're standing in formation and hear someone else getting a Navy Com for something you did.

Politics and friendships Bullshit kept me from simply being promoted to buck Sgt. People in front of me unable to pass PT and weight were promoted in front of me when I was in country. Bastards even changed my rightful rank of Cpl. To Spc. ! Finally after deployment I said f this! The military is not what it once was at all!

When you go and do something as brave as that rank should have no bearing on what award you get.
