In the Navy it wasn't unusual to see someone with a NAM (Navy Achievement Medal) or multiples of the award. The more senior in rank the more NAMs one would have, and the greater likelihood of getting a NAM for any multitude of reasons - end of tour, doing your job, being tight with a person that does the recommendations, etc.
A COM, though, was a rare sight, even on senior enlisted personnel, and is an immediate message to everyone that the person wearing it - especially if rank on the sleeve and not on the shoulder - is someone that knows their job and has proven it.
Bravo Zulu to your girl for being a squared away individual, and to dad for giving her the values and ethics that she has.This message has been edited. Last edited by: marksman41,

Good for her! That's awesome. Someone's son will be home to see his parents now instead of them receiving a folded flag.

That she is able to exhibit sharp critical thinking is completely unusual in this day and age. The fact that she combines this with what is obviously God given talent is just extraordinary. Damn, you must be proud!
What an uplifting piece of news to wake up to this morning! Thank you and congrats Dad. As Q said above, you raised her well are doing it right.

...But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory, but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. - Psalm 63:11 [excerpted]

Salute to your daughter and you puff that chest out shamelessly with pride!! You done good!!

Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24
