It isn't indicated on any of the three that have been posted.
But the real question here is, why was he even awarded a SS for shooting ONE injured fleeing enemy behind a hut that no one can authenticate?
According to the after-action report that Kerry submitted, he had attacked a 'numerically superior force'. His report was accepted as being honest and accurate (as it would be expected and presumed to have been). The award and citation were based on the falsified claims in the after-action report.
For a Silver Star award, I believe that there would have had to be an eyewitness attest to the actions. I wonder just who it was.
My mistake...I knew that. I've even posted the comparisons. So again, at what point in the separation process the "V" added to his 214? And why? Is this just a case of all involved wanting to go on liberty and not paying attention? As someone pointed out regarding the corrected 215, it would be easy for it to slip by since they were just adding things and maybe some Yeoman was just typing what he was instructed to do. Still, how could everyone, including Kerry miss it, TWICE? A Silver Star is a big deal and draws attention.
