Kerry's selective release of him military records raises more questions than it answers. One very curious question arises over Kerry's bronze star citation. It was signed by John Lehman (no date provided) who was Secretary of the Navy 5 Feb 1981 - 10 Apr 1987. Since the event he was awarded the Bonze Star for took place in 1969, I wonder what were the circumstances surrounding this belated award. Someone had to initiate this request well after the fact. Perhaps Kerry was trying to burnish his record in preparation for his first run at the Senate. It is also curious because the event cited involved the same guy who showed up at the Kerry campaign in Iowa. Someone needs to raise this question.

Kohn Lehman (no date provided) who was Secretary of the Navy 5 Feb 1981 - 10 Apr 1987.

Would this be the SAME John Lehman, 9-11 Commissioner?
