getting listValue back to actionclass from s:select tag

I have a s:select tag which is working fine.
                    <s:select label="fmr.terminationReason"
                              name="fmr.terminationReason"
                              list="rejectionReasons"
                              listKey="rejectedReasonCode"
                              listValue="rejectedReason"
                              multiple="true"
                              required="true"
                              size="9"
                              value="%{fmr.terminationReason.{reasonId}}"/>

html code made out of that is:
    <select name="fmr.terminationReason" size="9" multiple="multiple">
    <option value="1">Reason1*</option>
    <option value="2">Reason2</option>
    <option value="3">Reason3*</option>
    </select>

when user selects stuff from this select box and submits what is sent back
is listKey.  Is there any way to get the listValue (content) back to the
action class?

I want to do this because as you can see some reasons have * behind them and
I want to have some logic for when users select reasons with *.  I can not
just go by value because it is dynamic.

Is there a way to get around this hurdle?

 Not sure what you mean when you say it is dynamic -- Why not keep track of the original key-value pairs in the user session?
You only need the key.

I believe the Label is rather meaningless (from a data point-of-view).

Do you know which options have a * after them when you create the drop down?
So you would know that key=1 has a *, key=2 does not, etc? 

Not sure I understand the reason for the label in this scenario, since the
key is - the key.

But afaik, the key is submitted (as would be during any other HTML form's
submission) - not the label.
