A Saphire, Not a Diamond

While at our weekly dinner at Souplantation tonight, I was trying to tell my wife about the the soldier awarded the Medal of Honor today. "He's the first living soldier to receive the Medal of Honor since Vietnam" I told her, but her interest was lack-luster. I thought she may have been distracted by her brownie and yogurt dessert.

"What did he do to get it, again?" she asked.

"He shot a guy who was dragging off another American soldier."

"So he shot a guy in the face, and he gets a medal?"

"While he was kidnapping an American soldier."

The conversation was concluded with her final input:

"All I can think about is Prince William and his engagement. Did you see her ring? It was Princess Diana's...."

I got distracted myself, after that.
