The next two awards were presented by Col. Jack Jacobs, MSNBC commentator and a Congressional Medal of Honor winner in Vietnam. Jack is five feet four. Unlike Kerry, he didn't write his own citation and so he couldn't fake the record of what he had done. While shot in the head, Jack Jacobs carried 22 wounded soldiers to safety across a fire zone.
Every life he saved was that of a Vietnamese. Jack was the leader of a platoon of South Vietnamese soldiers fighting to protect themselves and their families from the horrors that followed the Communist victory that Kerry and his patron Ted Kennedy and Jane Fonda and other leftists worked so hard to accomplish.
Thanks for the ping.
I love this.

Thanks Calpernia! But I'm still burning mad over Kerry's 2001 DD 215.
I got an email from Len Magruder. Did he email you about the DD 215?

A little history here, something all separated vets were required to do; When separated from active service, vets were required to submit a copy of their DD 214 to the County registrar in their home of record.
Kerry produced a DD 215 amending his DD 214. Where O Where could a copy of that DD 214 be?
When I copied you on that email. My email bounced back as blocked.
I'm curious about that and that you didn't get a response.
Scarborough has been discussing this and someone who attended is coming up now.MSNBC
Is there an online feed? I'm updating a DB now and can't leave the office.
Added you to my address book. Perhaps that'll solve the problem.
Me is not the issue. I was wondering about Len Magruder. I'm off to bed now. How a great night!
My cable went out for awhile. I can't find a live feed on MSNBC site
Small correction. The stars on the VSM indicate the number of "Campaigns" in which the wearer participated, not "Tours".
My husband served only a single 13 month tour in Vietnam with the USMC, but his VSM has either 3 or 4 stars (I'm out of the country at the moment, and can't check the medal on his Dress Blues in the closet at home). It looks really nice, and he was in country for all of those campaigns, but not for four separate 13 month tours.
