Congratulations
to Sam's son, Michael who was just decorated with The Soldier's Medal for
bravery. The criteria for earning it are described below. This is a
major award since it signifies that the holder must have voluntarily put his
life at extreme risk in the process of saving the life of another. It is
the only decoration awarded for this kind of action when not in actual
combat. Needless to say, Sam and Kevin are very proud parents.
Congratulations, Michael! Well done!

Criteria: The Soldier’s Medal is awarded to any person of the Armed Forces of the United States, or of a friendly foreign nation who while serving in any capacity with the Army of the United States, distinguished him/herself by heroism not involving actual conflict with an enemy. The same degree of heroism is required as for the award of the Distinguished Flying Cross. The performance must have involved personal hazard or danger and the voluntary risk of life under conditions not involving conflict with an armed enemy. Awards will not be made solely on the basis of having saved a life.
