    I was just honored that they let me stick around. As for awards, a long time ago a very wise LTC told me that the Army awards system was pretty screwy, that you would get awards for things that didn't seem that special, and nothing for the times that seemed more deserving. I have found that to be very true. Here's a pic of me standing next to my favorite earthly reward.
