Subject: Recognition to a Freelance Pilot
Encryption Level: Medium

I would like to recognize a Freelance trader, who is Bretonian, that used his vessel as a rescue ship to save stranded marines on Stokes Mining Facility at last weeks attack on the station, in attempts to take it over, The Steadfast had to withdrawl after taking heavy hits from a Kusari Battleship patrol which came in to aide the station. The Steadfast, under Admiral Nelson's control, was forced to withdrawl from the fight. Leaving the men stranded on the station. Nelson ordered us to go in and save the men once we were done with the fighting in space.

The man I'm
talking about is Mister Michael Callaghan, A Bretonian Civilian that was passing through Leeds during the time of the fighting, he and his crew of ten (including himself.) went behind enemy lines and landed safely behind the cover of our fighters. Before I knew it, I watched his vessel zip down the tradelane and hearing his voice over the Communications say "Marines secured." I quickly responded with a "Get them to the Derby!" Just as that happened, the last Kusari vessel was downed, and the Marines successfully rescued.

How did Mister Callaghan find out about the Marines?
Mister Michael Callaghan, over heard the Steadfast giving us the order to rescued the pilots, over open Communications. As I said, he went behind enemy lines, landed safely under our fighter blanket, rescued the stranded marines and fled back to the Derby.

I'd like to recognize this man's act of bravery, risking his own crew, his own life, to save the lives of the Marines, fellow Bretonians, men and women dedicated to winning this war.

I'm not bringing ill-will to my own Admiral, Admiral Stanley Nelson, he made a tactical call, that the Marine Colonel knew he would call if things got messy. Admiral Nelson made the right decision. Call me a traitor if you wish, but what's more worth it? The lives of both the Marines and the Crew of the Steadfast, along with that vessel itself? The lives of just the crew? Or the lives of just the Marines? My answer is the lives of both the Crew, and the Marines.

Marines go in knowing they're expendable. But that's not the point, the point is, what we have here is a man, a normal everyday person, like we were before this war, that did what was right, at the cost of his own crew, and his own life. Going in when the Armed Forces couldn't, and rescuing our Marines to fight another day.

What Mister Callaghan did that day should be remembered as a Heroic act, and to remind the people that Bretonia is still fighting, and winning this war. It might not seem that way at first glance, but we are winning. It's only a matter of time.

Why I would like this man to receive a recognition?
This man acted with bravery I've only seen in fellow Officers. While other Citizens cowar in fear because of the war, this one man, stood out and did something for his Queen, and his guardians. He should be awared with a medal, and not a congratulations, not a pat on the back, or shaking hands with the Prime Minister, but a medal.
