You are kidding me right?

Not at all. I spent about 2 hours on google looking for details behind his medals. I could find nothing beyond the simple statement that he was awarded them. I did find one article in which his CO stated that Kerry acted recklessly and put his boat and crew in unnecessary danger and that the enemy soldier he took the rocket launcher from was already incapacitated from heavy fire from the boat and that Kerry provide the "Coup De Gra". So I repeat, source?

Thanks a lot for making me go on his website. Again I keep warning you people this line of attack makes Kerry look good and our side look bad: Kerry entered the Navy after graduation, becoming a Swift Boat officer, serving on a gunboat in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. He received a Silver Star, Bronze Star with Combat V, and three awards of the Purple Heart for his service in combat.
