Sentinel947 1205 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Pity the SM. That medal of honor paperwork is gnarly.An ASM and two of the Scouts in my unit (His sons) saved a family from a house fire in early 2012. They were awarded the Heroism award, and it took till Dec 2013 for everything to go through. Link to post Share on other sites
jpstodwftexas 72 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 I doubt and I certainly Hope that the first though through the Scout's Mind was not the Award..I know when I jumped into raging flood waters in Scouts in the 1980's on a Canoe Trip down the Brazos I never Thought about a Medal..And I still don't care that I never got a Medal...Nor the other 5 times I have helped saved people. I just did it, Knowing they could or would die if I did not help. Link to post Share on other sites

I just did it, Knowing they could or would die if I did not help. I have saved the lives of a lot of different people over the years, and or tried to save them (CPR 7 times and no saves as yet), but one does these things because it's the right thing to do as a Scout, not the accolades you get if someone finds out after the fact.
