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.

This may explain why Lehman signed the citations for the Silver and Bronze Stars. They were replacement medals. He actually did throw his own medals away.

Yea .. but the document he gave out regarding his Bronze star was signed by John Lehman

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