Kerry's C.O. Says First P.H. Was Not Authorized by Him

John Kerry's commanding officer was just interviewed on Fox News. According to Lt. Commander Grant Hibbard when Kerry showed up in front of him requesting a Purple Heart, Hibbard saw that he had a "scratch"(Hibbard's word) on his forearm. And because, according to Hibbard, there was no report of enemy action on Kerry's patrol that day and the "scratch" did not receive medical attention from a medical officer, Hibbard declined Kerry's request for a Purple Heart.

Yes, I'll take a Purple Heart, some bread sticks, and a Caesar salad with the dressing on the side. And make sure the dressing has no Anchovies in it Gargoyle.

Kerry's medals were awarded five medals in less than four months, this had to be a world class medal chase!

"this had to be a world class medal chase!"

Perfect graphic!

Pretty amazing stuff. This guy is so obviously a liar one wonders where the cries of KERRY LIED are from the media.

"This guy is so obviously a liar one wonders where the cries of KERRY LIED are from the media."

The DNC is waiting for Senator Klintoon to decide whether to take Kerry's place and then they will pressure him out and if he refuses then the media will be given their marching orders...don't forget the Klintoons have the FBI files on the Ketchup boy...and Ketchup boy was involved in the meeting of the VVAW where they planned the assassinations of several U.S. senators in 1971 which Kerry conveniently failed to report to the authorities...

Here's another story that will get no run from the media.

Big surprise that the medal authorization came from somewhere on high, probably a high-ranker in the Pentagon who was being bought steak dinners and household furnishings by Mass. politicians.

Hell, I didn't think Kerry was on our side - during the war in Vietnam, or now for that matter..

Semper Fi

It was bad enough he got elected POTUS the first time but when he was reelected I went BALLISTIC!

It is because the left are so disdainful of military service that they could a) vote for a draft dodger to be CiC, and b) think that an antiwar activist with Vietnam service is more qualified than a man who has liberated 50 million oppressed people to be CiC.

Thanks for the link to the Fox video. It must be getting a lot of hits. Slow. I saw most of the interview. Kerry sucks!

John F'n Kerry is a lying traitor ~ Bump!

We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!

~~ Bush/Cheney 2004 ~~

[river rat]

Yeah, I saw that too...

But - we still haven't heard all we NEED to hear about young Kerry's "hero status"..

The medals awarded - are secondary to me..
I have long felt they were insufficiently "documented"..

My primary interest - is:

1. When will Kerry apologize for his baseless slander of all the men that served, were killed or were maimed??
-- If he wished to "confess" to war crimes, then he should have done so, without dragging all of us in as accomplices.
-- If he really witnessed war crimes, why didn't he do his duty and REPORT IT --- even ONCE --- while an officer in theater?

2. Does Kerry yet acknowledge that most of the "witnesses" in his merry gang - were NOT vets, or were not in Vietnam, or if in Vietnam - were never near action or fired a shot in anger or defense??

3. Why does Kerry's website still claim that Kerry was the officer aboard when the most significant engagement for his boat was involved -- when it is DOCUMENTED that Kerry was NOT the officer in command that night - and was NOT EVEN ABOARD THAT NIGHT? Kerry took command of that boat - immediately after that action, because the actual Commander was seriously wounded.
-- The actual Commander has come forth and protested the claim at Kerry's website..

4. How does Kerry distinguish between desertion under fire - to his action of using his position/authority as an Officer to push for securing undeserved Purple Hearts to use as his ticket out of country?
-- Is that not "Desertion under Color of Office"...

5. How can Kerry expect anyone to elect a self confessed War Criminal as President and Commander in Chief?

Even with his freaking "medals", his long hair, his high office, and his rich wife --- Kerry is STILL a wannabe punk.

Excellent questions that we would all like answered but will probably never find out...
Heck we can't even find out if the guy voted for the 87 billion for the war? LOL

Straight answers are not Kerry's strong suit...

Semper Fi,

You said.....Kerry's next C.O. awarded Kerry a PH.

What's his name??

[Ann Archy]

Kerry enlisted because his IDOL was PRESIDENT JFK and Kerry thought being a Swift Boat Skipper was a safe, easy way to be like JFK, BUT then swift boat's were changed to a much more dangerous detail, and Kerry panicked!

[kellynla]

Don't know but if you do some searching you may find it on one the many Kerry threads with links to his service record...and of course the old reliable...google

[archy]

Purple Heart? Was Kerry in Vietnam? I did not know that.

Who?

[Ann Archy]

You were the one who said Hibbard was only his CO for three weeks and that his next CO gave him the PH.....how do you KNOW this is true??? Did YOU google to get this info?

[kellynla]

Nooooo Hibbard himself said today on the television that he was Kerry's C.O. for only 3 weeks and he refused to award Kerry the medal...and it has been reported that Kerry's next C.O. awarded him the medal.
And I don't know the C.O.'s name
