Kerry still has his own medals.....he showed them to a Boston Globe reporter back in 1996 I think.....when he ran against Weld.

He may have replacement medals hanging on his wall.
My grandfather lost his Purple Heart, and he was able to get another. I only know this because when he died, we found the original that was in a haggard old box and a shiny new one.
He had his PH from losing a leg in WWII. Not a Bacitracin type of wound.

My guess is he requested a replacement just in time for him to run for the Senate in the 80's
