Wowsky! An award citation that is very precise and uses vivid descriptions of the merits of the officer that justify the awarding of an ORS.:thumbsup Many of the ones I've read have lacked the detail of overall "deservedness" of an award (I believe I made up that word ;)).

This also lowers slightly the usually accepted starting range of Afghan ORS serial numbers. That might mean a few more for the pickin'.
