Voting analysis

One of Patrick Ryan's filings would award a Purple Heart to a Native American officer who fought in the Revolutionary War. Decorations awarded across two and a half centuries are not really about the recipient, who is long past caring. They are about which service a country is prepared to acknowledge, and how late it is willing to do so.
