This is nitpicking. Furthermore, the citation is approved by a lot of folks above Kerry before it is issued. Whatever Kerry may have done, this "V" is not an issue and you/we/they should drop it.
When it comes to Medals of Valor,
Nothing is worse then someone that claims to be some thing they weren't.
or add devices to medals that don't belong there.
YEAH! Heck, why do we even have medals anyhow? I thought we were supposed to have an Army of One? Handing out medals for personal good deeds is just damaging the self-esteem of the non-good-deed-dooers. John Kerry will see to it that this will be fixed when he becomes President. Maybe? Just maybe it would be better if a soldier rescues another soldier than the whole platoon got a medal?! Yeah! then they could pin it to their nice new baby blue hats!
With Kerry it is one more thing that isn't right! By itself the "error" on the DD214 may be no biggie, but with Kerry where everyday he changes his story it is a big deal.
(My opinion of course)
My husband served in the Korean Conflict nothing obviously to do with Vietnam, but he cannot stand the sight or sound of Kerry, he said he is a traitor if not to the country then to the people still serving and those that were POWs at the time he was before the senate.
