I don't SEE a date on the document, of the document.
(of when the document was typed)
If you see such, please respond with the
block number.
...
What bothers me is that the lower part contains
mention of the Silver Star 'V' device, which I don't see
on the two (of the three that exist) Silver Star citations on Kerry's website.
Is this a multi-page document?
...
These kind of things tend to have,,, dates, revision letters, etc.
The effective date 03-01-70 in block 11d is the date of the document. There is no date as to when it was typed, so one must assume that it was typed at or about the same time. What's your point? I just checked my DD214. It does not contain a date typed, only the effective date. If you look at Kerry's DD214, you will note that it Block #11c refers to his BUPERS order NB 036419 of 8 Dec 69.

The combat "V" distinguishing device would not be on the Silver Star ctiations because it would be redundant. It is not necessary nor is the decoration worn that way. There have been plenty of discussions of why it is on Kerry's DD214 that way. It is clearly a mistake. That said, Kerry would derive no benefit from such a mistake, regardless of whoever did it. I suspect, as was the same in my case, that Kerry was asked to list his decorations to assist the preparer in the typing of the DD214. Kerry, in his ignorance, wanted to make sure that the record showed he earned his Silver Star in Combat similar to the Bronze Star. If so, Kerry and the officer authorized to sign the form were wrong.
It appears you are trying to prove that the DD214 provided is not an official copy even though it is stamped that way. Bit of a stretch if you ask me.
