Not yet. Kerry's VSM with four bronze stars indicates five tours in Viet Nam. Totally bogus and laughable.

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.

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.
