RIGHT ON, RIGHT ON, RIGHT ON.....!!!

Way to go Swifties!!!! A PH before he sees any action!! How much play will this get in the MSM??

Now how does he explain the 3rd PH received for a bruised arm incurred in the 13 Mar '69 Bronze Star rescue incident?? The "grenade into rice cache" shrapnel wound was a result of non-hostile action that morning so does a bruised, NOT BLEEDING arm qualify for a PH??

It's fun to watch an arrogant tin sailor rusting away!!

Now,

It is my understanding that Kerry's med file on the Purple Heart was signed off by a corpsman. Letson did NOT sign off. Is there a date associated with this? Was it that day ... the next? Or further down the line?

2nd - As Kerry's commanding officer did NOT sign off on the award - who did? What is the date associated with the paperwork recommending him for the 1st P/H? At what location was the paperwork initiated? Was it local or higher up the chain?

3rd- It is my understanding that THIS - his first P/H - was the actual medal that initiated the other officers approaching Kerry with "This is 3 - go home." The delay being the unusual circumstances of the events surrounding the citation.


Lit'l help?
