If you look midway through the second page of sKerry's supposed military record (referenced below) it says "Silver Star with Combat 'V"
There is no Silver Star with combat "V" because a Silver Star IS an award for "Valor," (or as it termed "gallantry.") It can be added (I believe) to a Bronze Star as an additional honor to "meritorious conduct" but never to a Silver Star.
The mere fact of the designation of Silver Star with Combat "V" is, on its face, evidence of fraud. Which the MSM still have never reported.
This is still on sKerry's own website
The doctor who signed off on the first purple heart was somebody who kerry went to later, who didn't serve on the boat, after the doctor who treated him refused to recommend for a purple heart. This stuff was all well documented by the Swift Boat Vets for Truth.
The Silver Star was updated twice, with increasingly lauditory language, the last time decades later and Naval Secretary Lehman whose name is on the document said he never saw or signed any such thing. Everything about this guy screams FRAUD.
Yes, the combat V does not belong on the Silver Star. Why it shows on his records is beyond me because it is clearly wrong.
Kerry's staff has said that Kerry may not have deserved the first Purple Heart. Why hasn't anyone pursued that and asked him to give it up if he didn't feel he deserved it?
