Sen. John Kerry paid tribute today to Sergeant First Class Jared Monti, who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2006. Sen. Kerry attended a Medal of Honor Ceremony earlier today at the White House where President Obama posthumously awarded Monti the Medal of Honor for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty.

Monti, a native of Raynham, is the first Massachusetts veteran to receive the Medal of Honor since 1970.

John Kerry, what a grotesque honor. The poor father looks defeated with the ever smiling Dear Leader.

"Sen. John Kerry paid tribute today to Sergeant First Class Jared Monti..."



Paying tribute was cool but did he have to where the bunny suit as part of it?

Serve - to perform a task for 4 months or less, then embellish the task such that one receives undeserved recognition.
