Condolences on the loss of your husband.
I can't help but think that Kerry's hasty exit out of Viet Nam had more to do with his "loose canon" evaluations than it did with any bravery (or heroism) on his part!
I wish Kerry had come out of Nam with just HALF of the memories that our Vets did. It's easy to "brag" that you have Purple Hearts. Those that really earned them don't HAVE to brag. Kerry makes me puke!
He's a "girly man." No wonder he only served 4 and a half months over there. He probably couldn't stand the razzing he took from the REAL men!
