I most certainly do agree. A great hero like Kerry should be happy to share his records so the world can know how great he is. 3 purple hearts and no days off for injuries tells me he got special treatment.A Bronze star for killing one wounded man when no one saw the actual act tells me someone gave him special treatment. I have one framed and hanging on my wall. I know very well what they are for.

Worse, Kerry got a Silver Star.

You know, we don't begrudge Kerry his medals.......but you look at your wall and are reminded of how it got there, my brother in law has a Purple Heart, and he came back in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the chest down after taking VC shrapnel in his back. It really must troubling to you, as it is to me and to many, many vets, of ALL wars (and their families), to think that Kerry could demean their service by "inflating" his own. I have to admit...one Purple Heart for each month he was there......I'm no military statistician, but I may have a better chance on the lottery! Thank you for your service!
