Silver Star Shining
Awards are not uncommon in today's world. Most people have one hanging on a wall, gathering dust on a shelf, or tucked away in a forgotten place. Yet some awards just carry more weight than others, even leaving a mark in history. An oscar, Most Valuable Player, a Silver Star.
I watched as a silver Star as pinned on my son's chest March 10 at Fort Campbell, Ky. The second highest award an enlisted man can recieve, the Silver Star is the symbol of uncommon gallantry under fire against a foreign emeny of the United States. My son's name will be added to a list that includes Audie Murphy, Douglas MacAathur, John McCain, and John Kerry. Kelly Mahon will be in the company of heroes forever. Only an act of congress can take that away.
He was a rowdy boy who always tried his best. He loved to compete and took risks. From Little League catcher to gymkhana racer, wild bull rider in pro rodeo, he went on to join the Army and jump out of airplaes with the 101st Airborne. He was a member of the Long Range Surveillance unit during Desert Storm, qualified as a Ranger and Pathfinder before making it into the most elite group the Army has, Special Forces. He would not rest until he was picked as on of three out of 100 applicants to wear the Green Beret.
I watched him on stage as they related that night in Iraq when he crawled under crossfire to pull another SF soldier to safety, then led an attact against Al Qaeda terrorists holed up in a two story house. It is a mother's nightmare and pride.
I'm against war, especially this one. Yet I respect the men and women who so courageously answer their country's call. Too many do not. Every man I have ever loved has served his country and worn its uniform; my father, my brothers, my husband, my son. They have no regrets. They are proud of Kelly also.
I wear a peace sign and mourn the name of every fallen sevice man and woman. I ask congress to bring our people home alive. I do what little I can as a member of Grandmothers for Peace.
Bravery, patriotism, and leadership are not about war, but are conditions of the heart.

Nan,
Your artical touched my heart. I love your son Kelly, he is a true one of a kind, a true man's man like his father. He is my one true love and I will love him forever.
Terri
He is a really great guy. I have not had the opportunity to talk with him much but he always is thinking of me and I of him. I am hoping to soon see more of him.
Kelly is a wonderful man. I am always so happy and when I hear his voice.
Personally I think Kelly is a two timing liar who takes advantage of women every chance he gets!
Kelly single handely cleaned house at the Classic Cat, just protecting his turf! A great man.
I think he's a sorry mother fucker myself!
I have always wondered what kind of mother that Kelly Glenn had and now I know....You raised a wonderful man.....He is a special person in my life and many times when I was down on myself....He helped me regain my self-esteem and confidence....He will always have a special place in my heart.
I don't know who or why anyone would post a comment about a highly decorated, brave, honorable and mentionable individual as Kelly Mahon is. When he was awarded this Silver Star he kept it low key and still does today. He says he was only doing his job. He went above the call of duty and and he only knows one way of doing as he calls it, his job or his personal life and that is too the best of his ability and only accepts success. Granted I have tagged him with "Stir the Pot" Mahon,and he is good at it. Maybe your one of those who got your pot stirred. Get over it and yourself. Apparently you really don't know him or ever will cause he didn't give you the time of day. You must be one of those who talk the most and know the least. I suspect you are from Kansas and Ill be back there the first week in October for a week so if you want to discuss is further in person, you know where and how to get a hold of me! How disresptful!!!!!!!!!
Obviously there is a lot about Mahon that you don't know.
Cleaning house at the Cat House is real impressive, something to be proud of! NOT!!!
Can you provide me the Citation and Narrative for Award of the Silver Star for your son. I have been compiling all citations for the Silver Star and higher for all wars. YOu can see them posted at www.homeofheroes.com/silverstar
Email me at: doug@homeofheroes.com if you can help.
Congrats on a gallant son.
I hate all of you who dispise my cousin, Kelly. If Kelly weren't in the special forces, you all wouldn't be safe in your homes. You'd all probably be dead! So Shut up and let's see you try to get a silver star. Now eat that. You're all just jealous. Beat it! You sinners....
To all of the jerks who posted ill comments about Kelly! You must not have gotten the opportunity to know this man on a True level. He is kind, generous, honest and humble. So, next time that you feel the need to be a jackass, focus it on someone that isnt protecting you everyday!
Jill
kelly is a good dude. he was like an older brother to me for 2 of the craziest years of my life. some of you ladies were hurt because he is such a quality guy. if he weren't, you probably wouldn't care as much. but not everything can work out for your best and you should just want what is best for kelly really.
ps - classic cat rocked.
If I had to guess, you bitter bitches are a product of Kelly's ability to skim through people and figure out who is real and who is fake. Obviously, you weren't the real deal or you would have a true friendship with Kelly like so many of us do! He is a fine man and it is his gain not to have trash like you in his life
JME
Bitches hell, I'm a dude and have worked with Kelly in the military side by side for many years. He's not as nobel as you all think. He is a liar and a cheat. I know this from personal experiences. Just because he got a medal doesn't make him God. And there are alot of other men fighting for your freedom too, not just kelly.
Jody I wouldn't be taking up for Kelly if I were you, he slept with your wife and your sister.
A little late in posting, but glad I found this. Kelly is a great guy, he and I hung out alot when I was in LRSU at cambell.

Its a shame that kellys mom is trying to have a nice site for her son and it has turned into a slug fest to see who can belittle him the most. I understand that Kelly may have done bad things but honor his mother wishes for this site by giving credit to her son for the good things. Two wrongs doesn't make a right!
SHIT BAG!
MY COUSIN KELLY IS MY BIGGEST INSPIRATION...I LOVE MY KELLY...I DON'T CARE WAT YALL' SAY ABOUT HIM....U SHOULD BE LUCKY TO HAVE A GREAT SOLDIEER LIKE HE IS...U KNOW HE GOT BUMPED TO SERGANT MAJOR. THAT'S A TRUE HONOR.<3 YOU KELLY.....NO MORE BULL FROM ANYBODY...HE'S MY COUSIN HAVE RESPECT. PLEASE!
People
I ask you to please stop this back and forth about Kelly. Especially those of you who are afraid to post your name and own your comments. Some of your language is terrible and I see why I will never meet you. At least I hope not.
Let me inform you that Kelly does not read this blog and does not know about the hateful or the kind things you have posted. I hesitate to read it myself.
Each of us hope, some time in our lives, to do something honorable. Kelly did that something on a battlefield. Please allow him that. I hope someday your moment comes also.
As Kelly's mother and the author of this blog, I ask you to take your problems elsewhere. Two years of this discussion is quite enough.
kelly is a wonderful person, all you people with nothing but negative things to say, should be ashamed of yourselves!!!! dont we have enough "negative" in this world right now? i love ya kelly, and i hope all is well in your life. sonny rae hey (mcdonald)
