Original

Reason: Best of breed from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Silver_Star. A nice, clear photo which adds value to the article of the same name. Not sure if the size/resolution is of high enough quality, but that's why we review them first. :) — MrDolomite • Talk 18:46, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Proposed caption: The Silver Star is the fourth highest military decoration that can be awarded to a member of any branch of the United States Armed Forces. It is also the third highest award given for valor (in the face of the enemy).
