hmmm comes up for me
I couldnt get it to come up on my home computer last night, had to upgrade to Adobe 6.0 reader first.
I saw the pdf. If this is correct, it is correct. However, To the best of my knowledge, a V today is not authorized on a Silver star. I could be wrong.

It's there.
The link works for me! And it says SS with Combat V. It also says Bronze Star with Combat V. Both medals are listed with a Combat V. I think the Vets in the original Front Page story are complaining that any military person knows that the SS is never worn with a Combat V -- it's redundant. And that any Vet would have petitioned to have the paperwork corrected.
I know it sounds nit picky to those who are not Vets, but apparently it's a big deal. It certainly is a big deal when it concerns someone who has had these papers revised several times over the years and massaged them to look good in his various political campaigns.
