“Under ‘intense enemy fire’ in Iraq in 2003, Rep. Cory Mills rushed to the aid of two soldiers who had been struck, applied emergency life-saving care at the ‘great risk to his own life,’ helped evacuate them and saved their lives, according to the document that recommended the Florida lawmaker for a Bronze Star,” NOTUS reports.
“Mills was awarded the star after January 2021. Four years later, five people who served with him — including two of the men the document says Mills saved in different incidents — say they have no recollection of Mills being at the incidents listed on the form.”
