Again, I'm only relating what I was told. Pat never said what Shelton, WO Peery, Sp4 Terry Montayne, or the 12 grunts were doing all that time, Pat only said he was scared shitless, and was doing what ever was necesary to stay alive.
Westbrook told me that there was no way they (the Brass) were going to give a SP4 a Silver Star by himself.
