You are making excellent points.

The best I can come up with, is that perhaps the other medals/ribbons, whatever are of lesser importance, than the purple hears, Bronze & Silver Star and that's why they don't get mentioned.

Obviously you are an expert at this, but I read that you got some things almost just for showing up, so while he may wear them, you point out the most important once, not list every one.

However, I would like to see more detail about Kerry's service record and all the detail about just exactly why he got his various medals ( which should include the entire list), then we could see what else he has.

Didn't the media hound and Admiral or General about whether he was entitled to wear some medal, which ultimately turned out, he was indeed entitled to wear, but in the meantime they pushed him into suicide, I forgot the name, maybe you remember?

I searched and was able to find it, it was Admiral Jeremy Michael Boorda.

Yes, that Admiral committed suicide because he was found wearing as I recall a 'NAVY E' ribbon which he wasn't authorized to wear.

As to Lt. Kerry's medals, the thing is that there is a precise order that they are to be worn - period. That's why for instance his pistol & rifle medals are on the bottom row - right where they're supposed to be. And until that jerk Terry McAwful started with the 'chest full of medals' & hero cr@p and saying Bush was AWOL, I didn't give it much thought. Then with Kerry's info coming out about his 'two tours' and seeing all his pics plastered all over, I'm going wait a minute, what the hell are those two medals after the Presidential Unit Citation?!?

And if they're for meritorious service (again I can't tell) - that he isn't/wasn't authorized to wear, well it's more proof of what a phony he is and could do him in for good.

So yes, Kerry's Navy records need to be released.
