Nort, as I said, some things are old and were awarded before my time. The "silver star" was not taken over by another medal so I think it was not taken away from H for what was his accomplishment, as seen by his ladder officer. But, I am just guessing here.
When viewing the medal presentation screen, the officers can see many various medals, some of which are no longer used. The dBASE was once purged of medals that no longer applied. I remember seeing a "purple heart" in the list of medals.
I think that, before I became a club officer, the high "muckity mucks" wanted to get away from 'real life' medals. And, I think it was Jim that came up with the Roman theme and the various blades, etc.
Even the tournament "badges" were moved away from 'real life' campaign presentations and more into representations of the individual tourney.
If H received a "silver star" he did so long ago or the Club officer who gave the award did so on his own initiative.
I'll take a look at the dBASE and see if any unused one's are laying around.
