So Capt. Melissa May in her own words was "rewarded" the
DSF.....interesting

Hey, LOOK everybody! Here's yet another opportunity to roll in on someone
for the terminology in which they refer to the award of a medal! Because
they used a term like "rewarded," or "earned," or "won," it *obviously*
means that they don't deserve it, right?!


Agreed, if she rated the award it really doesn't matter how one words it.

I am willing to bet the "rewarded" in the original cite was either a typo or a
misquote. Perhaps the captain intended to say she was "awarded" the medal. Like
no one else has misused a word?

Geeze, people, get off her case.
