Very minor edits below. Only date I'm not sure of is the 2003 commission into the Guard-I assume the Guard knows the date. Don't know whether folks prefer "Bronze Star Medal" or the more common but colloquial "Bronze Star." I also added the Conspicuous Service Cross to the beginning of the awards paragraph because of its prominence. I don't know whether protocol requires it be further down.
