I was browsing on snopes and read the military section. I found this very interesting as no one knew what it was. How direspectful.

...that they didn't even recognize the medal! That's a damn shame and says alot about the cruddy education system we have in this country that over-emphasizes test scores as opposed to actually making people learn anything, whether it be history, english, math or science :roll:

Some of you may be familiar with the idea that without a history, a people have no culture. Its coming true in this country...
