Quite the difference from JF’n Kerry throwing “his” medals over the White House fence. The article was posted last Monday, and said he would present the Purple Heart to President Bush on Monday at 12:30. Not sure if that meant the same day or today (April 23).

He originally wrote up a citation and gave the medal and citation to his congressman to pass on to the President. When the President heard of it he asked that he come to the White House and present it himself. Great and honorable men come from Texas!

Forgot to mention, the Purple Heart was originally started by George Washington during the Revolution to serve as a Medal of Honor and bravery (not for injuries). It was only awarded to two people as I recall and then was brought out quite a bit later (WWI or II???) as a medal for injuries. Not sure of the details, but close.
