* B.J. receives the Bronze Star for helping a chopper escape while under fire, which he hands off to another soldier for "getting out in one piece". This has the same problem as above: the soldier may have possession of B.J.'s Bronze Star, but B.J. has the paperwork and the decoration on his record and his name would be engraved on the back, though in this case it is with the permission of actual recipient (though the soldier could get in trouble is wore it).
