Well, I can accept your putting the blame on BB.
I always do. 
He is deserving of such accusations as well as the attention.

I can see where BB gets his fondness of you from now. It is your pure love of the guy that shines through every once in awhile.

So just who was the first person to perform a deed... (show quote)
Until the end of WWI, the Medal of Honor was the only Medal given for valor. There were no Distinguished Service Crosses, no Bronze Stars, or Silver Stars, or Navy Crosses. Many of the actions for which the Medal was awarded in the 19th and early 20th century would not rise to the level necessary to receive this medal today, but would instead earn a recommendation for a Bronze or Silver Star, or a DSC.
