I started out by updating and correcting the Awards and Decorations sections for Medal of Honor recipients of Battle of Mogadishu (1993), Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom and The Global War On Terrorism, but have since been watching over pages of many other heroes. It has been an honor to serve, in my own little way, those who have served and honored us.
