Back on June 22, 1952, Reed was heading for an artillery observation post near Panmunjom when a Chinese artillery shell blew his Jeep over, causing a deep gash in his cheek. Reed went to a nearby aid station and got about 10 stitches in his wound. He still has the scar beneath his left eye. "All I knew was that the Chinese were attacking, and they needed me at that observation post," he said.

I don't understand why you think he is cheating?

Did you read the article.

That's the bureaucracy for you. "The medals were out of stock, officials told him in a letter. He got a nice certificate, but was told that if he wanted a medal to go with it, he'd have to either buy his own or reapply in 90 days."

Now, if Hillary gets her way, delete medal and replace with the medical procedure of your choice.

You missed the whole point of my post. I was facetiously hoping that he didn't get stuck with the Purple Heart that was tossed away by that lying, shameless, Paper Tiger and bedwetter who was almost elected President.

That comment was tough in cheek. Make sure that the medal he got wasn't the one John Kerry allegedly threw away at a protest.

That's another kerry flip-flop. Back then, he said he did it. More recently he said it was only "ribbons".
