15 years later? For "award" and medals paperwork?

When the MEDAL can't be awarded (leagally) until the paperwork gets back to the "rewarding" unti?

When the "rewardee" is an admiral's aide, with all the paperwork assistance and clerks and staff "right there" to do just that?

Nah.

Wouldn't have happened.

By accident, at least.

Nope.

For whatever reason, he got the medals.

Then, some 15 years later, after Kerry becomes a Senaotr, Lehman signs a different version of the citation as SecNAV.

So, when they WERE fighting the Vietnam War, who had been designated "silver Star" signature authority?

Could CINCPAC actually award it? (He signed the second citation.... Why was there a second one issued for same action?)

Could Zumwalt, as Commander US Naval Forced Vietnam, sign it? (He did.)

Could Zumwalt sign (and authorize!) the Bronze Star?

Who, in the Freeper World, has received a Bronze Star?

Who, in the Freeper World, has received a Star Star who can show us the "authorizing" signature of either?
