He doesn't talk about it either. There are enough others to talk about those events. It's not because of what he saw or experienced, but because it's history.

"It was not based on bravery," Rockwell said of his ac­ tion, "but making the right deci­ sion. There were a lot of guys who deserved a medal more than me."
