Why is Kerry's Bronze Star citation signed by John Lehman who was the Secretary of the Navy in the early 80's?
Was the citation rewritten or reissued, 20 years after the action? Why?
On a previous thread we compared the signature on that citation to other documents signed by Lehman, there is no doubt it is his. I have never seen this addressed beyond FreeRepublic.
Thre are two citation letters for each award. One signed by Zumwalt, the other by Lehman (four citations in all, covering two awards).
The best explanation is that Kerry really did throw his medals away, and asked for, and got them back.
Kerry has never answered the question. This is what the "medals vs. ribbons" kerfluffle was all about, a few months ago.
A trivial issue, compared with lying to get the awards in the first place -- which is what the Swities are shouting from the rooftops!!
CORRECTION --- One of the Silver Star citations is signed by Hoagland, not Zumwalt
