Our "STAR"

I would like to give a great big CONGRATULATIONS shout out to Eric. He was awarded the Bronze Star for his service throughout his deployment. We think there are only 3 dentists, out of about 40-50 dentists, on Ft. Bragg that have received this award!!! Way to go babe! We are counting down the days until he comes home. We are guestimating about a month to go.

According to Wikipedia, here's the definition of the Bronze Star

The Bronze Star Medal is a United States Armed Forces individual military decoration which may be awarded for bravery, acts of merit, or meritorious service. When awarded for bravery, it is the fourth-highest combat award of the U.S. Armed Forces and the 9th highest military award (including both combat and non -combat awards) in the order of precedence of U.S. military decorations.
