Hey,, I can't see you over there from that yonder distance, why don't you come a little closer?

Come here and sit on grandpappy's lap.

What's that? You want to hear about my days as a SPARTAN-III? Well that was quite awhile back, during the great war and all, you see, the SPARTAN program was initiated before the Great War, over a century ago. It was used to combat them damn insurrectionists. However, you see,, not long after them SPARTAN-Is were ready for field duty, them higher ups at the United Nations Space Command didn't see any good results, so the program was shut down. It would be another decade before the United Nations Space Command would kidnap some children, about your age,, and put them through rigorous training, when they were augmented to make them stronger, more perceptive, more durable, think faster, more agile. Unfortunately, some of the Augmentation had problems therefore only the lucky ones were able to survive, and thus the SPARTAN-IIs were born. As the Great War progressed, the UNSC realized that it would be better to have more SPARTANs, and that's where you grandpappy comes along,. You see my parents were killed when the covenant glassed my homeworld. You see,, that I had nowhere to go, but to the orphanage, and life was hard there, that was until a recruiter from the UNSC Special Operations Command came and decided to recruit some orphans into what would become the SPARTAN-III Program Gamma Company, see that was the third SPARTAN-III company.

What's that, ? You want to know how I got this medal?

Well near the end of the Human-Covenant war some 75 years ago, I was awarded it for my valorous action in close quarters combat.
