This is a perfect example of why I think the Sec. of Defense should be a veteran. Glad they axed it.

It would have been the first American combat-related award to be created since the Bronze Star Medal in 1944.The new blue, red and white-ribboned medal was to be awarded to individuals for "extraordinary achievement" related to a military operation occurring
