The Silver Star is one of the few military awards that can be awarded to a civilian (example - journalist Joe Galloway received a Bronze Star with V for his actions in Ia Drang November 1965). It may be awarded to any person who, while serving in any capacity with the U.S. Armed Forces, distinguishes himself or herself by extraordinary heroism involving one of the following actions:
* In action against an enemy of the United States
* While engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force
* While serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party
On November 5, 2009, at the Soldier Readiness Center, Fort Hood, Texas, civilian police officer Kimberly Munley, who is also an Army veteran, gunned down an enemy of the United States (Malik Nidal Hasan) during an action initiated by said enemy - the senseless murder by Hasan of 13 brave soldiers and injury of 31 at Fort Hood, Texas. Her actions undoubtedly saved the lives of active duty service members and civilians, and expedited the delivery of lifesaving medical care to those injured by this Muslim terrorist.
For her dedication to duty and country, and her selfless act of bravery in defense of members of the US military, we hereby petition the US Army, and the Secretary of Defense, to award the Silver Star to Officer Kimberly Munley.

- plus the Purple Heart and perhaps Bronze Stars for the military members who died, were wounded, or put their personal safety secondary to those who fell at Fort Hood. No doubt that this was a skirmish in the GWT
