The way I understand it is that Kerry, being the Senior Officer, was the one who requests the Purple Hearts for those under his command. Any Soldier receiving three Purple Hearts can request relief from combat duty and be transfered State side. I also heard that Kerry did not miss 1 day of duty relating to any of his wounds.
