VMF-251 Decorations for Okinawa: The Final Battle
« on: January 03, 2008, 01:00:54 AM »
The votes are in and VMF-251 has chosen to honor one of its members for particularly conspicuous merit during action against the enemy in Okinawa: The Final Battle.

For his actions in saving CV-2 from almost certain destruction through repeated waves of enemy bomber and torpedo attacks, but still maintaining a stable landing platform for returning allied aircraft running critically low on fuel while under enemy fire, Buccaneers Executive Officer MEF4UD has been so honored by his squadron mates for his masterful command of the Task Force during Frame 2: Operation Hermit Crab, and has been duly awarded the squadron's current highest decoration.



This will be posted in a special section on the squadron website, whenever the hell the host is back online and I can actually get IN there to upload it and the rest of the updates. :p
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Gah crap. I started to put 8th December, 2007 but when I started to correct the date I forgot to change the day. :p
