And there is a problem with one of the accusers, a man named Thurlow whose account in this book and in this television commercial is contradicted by the official record of his own Bronze Star citation, which refers specifically to enemy fire. <<<<<<<<<<<<

Thats right, BUT, Thurlow, a young man, returns home after serving a FULL TERM OF DUTY, not four months, mind you, at least a YEAR in Country.

He goes to the (Reserve Office?) and is told he is to receive a medal, he goes to get it, and it talks about being under enemy fire, Thurlow knows he has been under enemy fire, and accepts the medal. He takes the medal and paperwork home to share with his family, puts it away, begins his life again.

What!?? he did not notice the exact DATE on the recommendation? He did not "say anything" at the time, he did not dispute that he was not under fire?

Good God! Of course he did not! He's a young man, been at war, happy to be home, happy to get a medal instead of spit upon! You think he stopped to say Oh, on thus and so date, I was at thus and so...gee, I better make sure I'm deserving of this medal after SERVING MY FULL TERM!

I hate kerry and McCain can kiss my double-A as well!

Thurlow said last night that he was unaware of any mention of enemy fire on his medal citation until a day or two go when the Washington Post reporter told him what he had found. He asked the reporter to read the name of who authorized the citation and it was his C.O. Then he asked who the witness on it was and the reporter read off a name that Thurlow didn't recognize.

My question would be that does a copy of the citation or any other paperwork come along with the medal? Thurlow said that all this time he thought the medal was just for pulling some guys out of the water and keeping the 3 Boat from sinking.
