"You cannot imagine the yellow flames. The sky was filled with fragments," said Navy Hospital Corpsman Third Class Douglas L. Wean as he began to describe the events leading to his earning the Silver Star Medal, the nation's fourth highest heroism medal. Wean, the 20-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Wean Sr., 206 N. Wesley, Mount Morris, was awarded the Silver Star Medal in a ceremony February 14 at the Naval Hospital, Great Lakes, Ill. Vice Admiral George M.
