Yeah, I would really like to see that documentation for Kerry's V that he claims goes with that Silver Star?
I hope you mean the original documentation rather than the 1980's edition of his records. IMHO - This one is going to be very hard to explain away.
This is from Kerry's site.
Lt. John Kerry's leadership, courage, and sacrifice earned him a Silver Star, the Navy's fifth highest medal, a Bronze Star with Combat V, and three Purple Hearts, awarded for wounds received in combat. John Kerry was awarded a Bronze Star for rescuing a Green Beret, who had gone overboard during a mission. According to his Bronze Star citation, "Lt. Kerry directed his gunners to provide suppressing fire, while from an exposed position on the bow, his arm bleeding and in pain, with disregard for his personal safety, he pulled the man aboard. Lt. Kerry's calmness, professionalism, and great personal courage under fire were in keeping with the highest traditions of the US Naval Service."
Bronze Star with combat V.What's that ?
