I may be wrong but didn't Beau go to Kosovo before he became an ASUA? I thought he was detailed out of main Justice.

Very minor edits below. Only date I’m not sure of is the 2003 commission into the Guard—I assume the Guard knows the date. Don’t know whether folks prefer “Bronze Star Medal” or the more common but colloquial “Bronze Star.” I also added the Conspicuous Service Cross to the beginning of the awards paragraph because of its prominence. I don’t know whether protocol requires it be further down.
