2236. He was awarded a second Wounded Lion for actions on Outpost Cestus III | |||
in 2259. | |||

concussion and broken wrist, he re-entered the ODYSSEY's shattered hull four | |||
times to bring wounded back to a shuttle pod in the only remaining | |||
pressurized maintenance bay. His bravery saved twelve other crewmen: the only | |||
survivors of the doomed Vulcan rescue fleet. | |||

Through his record and interview, Bruce "Lucky" Paulson impresses me a fairly | |||
uncomplex man of great enthusiasm, fair mindedness, quick wit, considerate | |||
charm, and deep devotion to his responsibilites. His proven ability to inspire | |||
and motivate his men speaks for itself. Everyone I have corresponded with | |||

professionalism and decor. | |||
