Navy is not saying that he doesn't deserve the Silver Star.

The officer who's signature is at the bottom is. He said he never saw it and never signed it.
Someone else forged the signature on the form to get Kerry the star.

"Former Navy Secretary John Lehman has no idea where a Silver Star citation displayed on Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's campaign Web site came from, he said Friday. The citation appears over Lehman's signature. It is a total mystery to me. I never saw it. I never signed it. I never approved it. And the additional language it contains was not written by me," he said.

Nope. Lehman said on TV that it might have been signed with an 'autopen'. So the signature was not 'forged', it was just 'autopenned' onto the document without Lehman's knowledge.

It could be passed off as being done by Lehman's staff who were keeping the boss's workload down...
