He got his first purple heart for a self inflicted wound on Dec 2, 1968. He was not on a swift boat, but on a small whaler. This was when he was in training before taking over a swift boat. He didn't get the purple heart for it until late February, because the people he asked to give him a purple heart at the time refused to give him one for a non-combat injury. He had to wait until they rotated out of country to get someone else to approve his medal. There is no backup documentation for medal (after action reports, etc).

All the other medals came from action in mid-Feburary thru March 13, 1968. Yep, that's alot of medals for 1 month.

To Kerry lying is as natural as breathing -- I suspect he's not even aware he's doing it most of the time.

Superman and then some. The first Purple Heart was Dec 2nd but that was a training mission before he was given command of a boat. Now move forward to Feb 20, second Purple Heart, Feb 28, Silver Star, Mar. 13, Bronze Star and third heart. Certainly amazing. This should be sent to Ripley's.

He got 2 purple hearts, a bronze star, and a silver star between Feb 20,1968 and March 13, 1968.

You are correct. Actually, Fox News showed him saying that last night (in context) and I was stunned about how brazen he was in his lie. Then I was even more stunned when the Fox reporter didn't call him on it in his report.

actually it was 3 p.h. in that timeframe.

the first one was denied.

Then later re-requested by Kerry with a different commander
and was not approved until Feb 28th.

I believe by that time the commanders were all convinced
Kerry was a menace and HAD to go, and giving him 3 p.h.
was the game-plan.

Kerry was in 3 different divisions in 17 weeks, and
all his peers hated working with him and wanted him out.
He wouldn't follow orders and put everyone in jeopardy.

Gardner was on the boat as gunner for the episode where Kerry claimed he shot four or more Vietcong and captured several more. The truth was that Gardner shot a Vietnamese man who reached for a gun to shoot him...Kerry was down in the wheelhouse, supposed to be watching radar...but didn't do his job. The Vietnamese boat caught Kerry's boat by surprise as it came up the river. The man grabbed his gun to shoot, and Gardner let him have it...unfortunately, a small boy was standing behind the Vietnamese and was also shot. A woman and baby were taken prisoner and let go elsewhere. This should have ended in an official inquiry since we weren't supposed to shoot civilians. Gardner said he wondered why no inquiry ever happened. And six weeks ago, he learned that Kerry had written up the spot report, himself, taking credit for heroic kills and captures. All phony. He got a bronze star for this. Kerry is a stinking liar.

I wasn't aware that he got a bronze star for the sampan incident. As far as I know, he got a Silver star for shooting the viet cong kid with the rocket launcher in the back, and a bronze star for pulling rassman out of the river.

The sampan incident was just a report that he filed with bogus information (leaving out the killing of the child and increasing the KIA count), if you rely on Gardner.

John Kerry would rather climb a tree to tell a lie than stand on the ground to tell the truth.

(Just like we can say about John Kerry's god -- Clinton.)

Great catch there....the four months story is fishy enough, now it seems to boil down to a month and a half...

I've read posts by Kevin Mccullough on other sites as well as linked through here, always good reading!
