That makes sense.

My abundant ignorance stems from the fact that I never really worried about awards that I would never get to wear.

Now that I think about it, a CNO by the name of Boorda killed himself over questions about a combat 'V'. See http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/borda.htm

My man uses Kerryzyte, to get the results he, well, likes.

Where can I purchase some? Do I rub it on my chest or other parts? I have too much blood in my alchohol system will that cause side effects? I swam for my own saftey and the water was cold so I deserve a medal for saving myself. Ted K.

WARNING DO NOT USE KERRYZYTE WITH ALCOHOL, if condition lasts longer than 4 hours-see a doctor Wink

I wish I would have known about this stuff.

I hit my head on a beam running down the stairs of a ... a ... a two story refreshment center that also specialized in physical therapy. I was too drunk to know if there was enemy fire or not but I do remember a mad Mamasaun.

That probably qualified for a Purple Heart didn't it?

I remember the time I was attacked by a bag of Rice, it was a hell of a fight. I was in Laos... or maybe that was China. (?) Either way, it's seared into my mind! The damned Rice wounded me too. That couldv'e been my second Purple Heart! (That Rice is a dangerous advessary when provoked!)

BaldEagle,

That's precious! HA! Now, we understand why Kerry is melting down so badly over this issue. No longer do we wonder why he is so angry and willing to censor the Swifties. If it comes out that he knowingly wears medals that he doesn't deserve, he'll have to commit suicide!

HA!

I believe Adm. Borda's controversy was over a Combat V worn on the Navy Commendation or Navy Achievement Medal. The Conbat V is authorized with both. After his suicide, it was determined his Combat V was authorized. He just didn't know it. What a waste.

That's the story; Boorda was wearing Combat "V"s on two ribbons that Admiral Zumwalt told him he could wear. However (as far as I know), the commission responsible to determine that never did, or did so years later. Zumwalt was not the final authority, and the press was about to expose it as a scandal.
