West Point Graduate Condemns Kerry's Valor Awards and Purple Hearts as Phony

ANNAPOLIS, Md., Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- In an open letter to Senator John Kerry, a former regional coordinator for Viet Nam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) has accused the senator of betraying antiwar veterans and dragging VVAW to the radical left and collaboration with the enemy. Robert Bowie Johnson, Jr., an airborne ranger infantry veteran of Viet Nam and antiwar veteran himself also wrote in his letter that Kerry usurped the leadership of VVAW with his "phony medals for valor and [his] three phony Purple Hearts."

Johnson, a registered democrat, writes in his letter that most antiwar veterans told the truth about what they saw and did in Viet Nam and asserts that they were demanding from their leaders acknowledgement and change. It was Kerry, Johnson writes, who took over leadership of VVAW under false pretenses and dragged it in the direction of Jane Fonda and collaboration with the enemy.
