LOST Now when Wig said that about the Gold Cross I thought it was just because he was weak and didn't know what he was saying.

Because, maybe you know as well as I do, that the Gold Cross isn't so easy to get.
Only one fellow in our troop ever got it, and that was Tom Slade.

Maybe I took a chance when I went into all that smoke, I'm not saying I didn't, but if I got anything at all, it would be the Bronze Medal, I guess, but nix on the Gold Cross.

You don't find gold crosses growing around on every bush, you can bet.

Anyway, I didn't want any honor medal because I knew Wig wouldn't get one (because they're only for lifesaving) and gee, if he didn't deserve one, I'm sure I didn't.
Anyway this wasn't any time to be thinking about medals, because Artie Van Arlan was missing and that was the principal thing we had to think about.
