Rumor Control reports the circumstances surrounding Stephen Trujillo receiving the Silver Star for actions under fire during Operation URGENT FURY were misreported. Some say he refused to advance on the downed helicopter whereupon his fellow Rangers physically assisted him out of his cover position and informed him that he was not to return without the crewmembers. In other words, his fellow Rangers grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, tossed him out, lowered weapons on him and told him he either came back with them or die. As I said, this is a rumor. Anyone care to comment? Fellow Rangers maybe?
