NavyFCO Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 No envy here, though Ed's collection has one less Red Star coming to it... Seriously, I just got the citation for Vavenko's Red Star. It's very nice! I'll scan it and Ed can post it up with the thread.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyFCO Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Absolutely, Andreas But it was my turn after all the catch-up awards for wounds Yep... I got research back for 8 Red Stars this time... All were post-war catch ups save for the one for the Czechoslovakia invasion and one to the chief of intelligence of the Kiev military region! Sometimes you win some, most of the time you don't!Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerd Becker Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 But the thing is that if you never research them, then you'll never know. You know, i agree completely, Ed. Just out of couriousity, as this won?t leave me anytime soon, what would a Red Star be worth with such a Research? I myself would pay probably 100-120 Dollar,but would i get one for this price?

In action he is a brave, determined, quickly and sufficiently finds his bearings, takes grounded decisions, helps the Afghan officers in artillery fire control. He doesn’t lose his presence of mind in complicated and dangerous for life situations, keeps cool and is self-controlled. During operations in the area of the settlement of Tolu he provided an opportunity for further attack, personally grounded a number of enemy’s firing points. In the area of the settlement of Fayisa he has scattered over open sights insurgents’ detachment, as a result the regiment’s mission was achieved. He has a deserved authority among the officers.
