Chapter 1901: Meritorious general

After getting ready, Shen Long entered the world of "Dragon Island" through the light door. When he opened his eyes, he felt the rain sparsely falling on him. He was now in a cemetery, in front of General Hanmer's wife Tombstone of Mrs. Barbara-Hammer, and on top of the tombstone is a medal of congress.
General Frank-Hammer participated in almost all major military operations of the US military after World War II. He received three Purple Heart Medals, two Silver Star Medals, and one US Congressional Medal of Honor.
The Purple Heart Medal is the oldest military honor still being awarded in the world, and it is the first medal awarded to ordinary soldiers; it was established by General George Washington on August 7, 1782. It can be awarded to soldiers wounded in combat, but also to the nearest relatives of the fallen. Although this medal is not high-ranked in the American Medal today, it signifies bravery and self-sacrifice, and holds a high position in the hearts of Americans.
In a plain saying, soldiers wearing this medal can proudly declare, "I bleed blood for America!" They are well-deserved American heroes.
The Silver Star Medal is a general medal of the US military cross-service. It is the highest-ranking military medal in the US Federal Military Medal, and it can also be awarded to the third highest rank of the US military services. A military medal for bravery; a person who has received this medal can say, "I have done merit for America!"
The two armies of Hanmer received a total of three Purple Heart Medals and two Silver Star Medals, which shows that he has suffered at least three injuries on the battlefield and achieved two major achievements; such a person is absolutely qualified to board the military parade if he is in China. It is normal to enjoy the cheers and admiration of the people of the country in the colorful floats, and even board the highest viewing platform.
As for the Congressional Medal of Honor, the highest military medal of honor awarded by the United States established by the United States Government under the United States Congress Act of 1862. It is awarded to members of all branches of the United States Armed Forces, including the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. With the Coast Guard, the winners must "exhibit extraordinary bravery and risk their lives in the battle with the enemies of the United States."
Its history can be traced back to the period of the American Civil War in 1862. It was awarded 3,460 times when Shen Long crossed over, the most recent in 2016; members of the navy, army and air forces are eligible to receive this honor, and each The medals of honor awarded by each service have their own unique designs; it is awarded by the President of the United States who is the supreme commander of the US armed forces.
The one placed on the tombstone by General Hammer is the Navy Congressional Medal of Honor. It is composed of a bronze five-star. The top of each foot is decorated with clover and is surrounded by a circle of bay leaves. Oak leaves are on each corner. As decoration.
In the center of the medal, a circle composed of 34 stars represents the 34 states of the United States in 1862. Minerva, the goddess of wisdom in Roman mythology, that is, the Athena in Greek mythology gives humanity to the United States in the entire medal. In the center of the world, her left hand is on the Roman power that symbolizes power, and her right hand holds a shield that symbolizes American armed forces.
If the Silver Star Medal is compared to first-class merit, the Congressional Medal of Honor seems to be regarded as the title of a fighting hero. This is the only medal in the United States that cannot be legally bought and sold. It is also illegal for non-who to wear it in public.
Don't look at the total number of medals awarded more than three thousand, it seems quite a lot, but in fact, more than 1,500 were awarded only in the American Civil War. Later, the audit became more and more strict, and only one hundred were awarded in World War I. Twenty-four, 464 were awarded in World War II, interestingly, 135 were awarded in the Korean War, and 246 were awarded in the Vietnam War. Perhaps in the eyes of Americans, these two War is more difficult than World War I.
In the nearly fifty years after the Vietnam War, only 11 medals have been awarded, namely the Battle of Mogadishu, that is, the war described in the movie "Black Hawk Fall", and two winners were born; This was followed by five Afghan wars and four Iraq wars. None of the remaining operations such as Operation Desert Storm, Battle of Grenada, Battle of Panama, etc. could be obtained.
Therefore, before entering this world, Shen Long guessed that General Hanmer's Congressional Medal of Honor must have been obtained from the Vietnam War. Now, according to General Hanmer's memories, he has also confirmed his conjecture.
From his personal point of view, it can be said that he has obtained what he wants. He now has honor and status, and he will certainly enjoy the funeral of the scenery after his death; but General Hanmer still can't let go of his sacrificed navy. Team members.
The soldiers who sacrificed in Vietnam, Grenada, Laos, and China did not receive the treatment they deserved. Well, in Shen Long ’s view, those soldiers who died in China deserved it, but in General Hanmer ’s view Come, they are indeed the heroes of the United States. He actually doesn't want much at all. He just wants to win the honor and compassion for these soldiers.
But because these soldiers are doing some shameful work for the United States, the government has no way to provide them, because once these people are commended, they will inevitably attract hostility from other countries; of course, these countries must know American What the is done ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But they know that they are totally two concepts with the US.
Hey, you have to say that you can't give them medals of honor, you can't give them a funeral, and Shen Long understands, does our country also have an unknown hero square? No one knows your name, your merits are immortal.
But the United States did n’t even have this. As for not giving out pensions to their families, Shen Long did n’t even understand. At that time, China could not provide too many pensions for some heroes because the country was too poor, but when the economy improved, Slowly make up, and now the treatment of veterans who have made credit for the country has gone up.
The United States is so rich, why not give these soldiers a pension? Even if it cannot be issued through public channels, the United States also has a secret account. For example, the Red Sea Trading Company mentioned in the film by General Hanmer is the vest for illegal arms sales by the US military. Even the FBI does not know this account. Use this account for disbursements.
Hey, even if Ma Run is a fourth-class man in the US military, you can't bully like this? Shen Long raised his head and left the cemetery with firm steps. Now it ’s time to go back and convene his men to discuss countermeasures. It is definitely inappropriate to steal the missile and threaten Congress. He will use his own plan to get the money.
