The Blackangel Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 My grandfather received 5 bronze stars and some other kind of medal from the army. He was a medic in WW2, and was part of a unit that liberated Auschwitz. Aside from him, I don't know anyone else that received any kind of medals or special honors.

Reality vs Adventure Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 My grandpa was a Colonel in the Air force and got the silver star, bronze star, air medal, meritorious service medal, and national defense medal. He flew the F-102 and F-106. During Vietnam he was a forward air controller and discovered a major supply route in the TET offensive. They renamed that road after him Glenn Adams Highway. He died on a motorcycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also trained pilots and that may be a jet he trained others on. He started a military academy in Florida, so he possibly flew all sorts of jets.

Shortie Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 That I am aware of I do not think there has been anyone I know who has received a medal from the government or military or at least not that I have been told. I would have to ask family members regarding that to see if they know anything, my grandma would be the one that would know if anyone did receive anything.

killamch89 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Not really but they did give me a huge sending off when I resigned from working for the government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
