So you think it's OK for a Sec of the Navy to change the wording of a citation 15 years later?

I don't give a rats ass if Jesus H. Christ came down from the heavens himself and enhanced the wording of John Kerry's Citations, it's still wrong

I don't know why the last sentence of the Silver Star citation was changed. As I mentioned, it could have been some additional boilerplate that was being used at the time different from the original. Who knows some of the wording could have been in the actual write up for the award and added to the citation synopsis. I can't judge until I have more facts.
