Trumpf: 'I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier

He didn't throw his medals, it was his ribbons. Get your story straight.

that makes me feel a lot better......all this time I was worried about a lawn mower riding over them and some illegal immigrant working on the WH lawn getting killed by flying shrapnel from Kerry's medals........
 
My favorite thing about the swiftboat veterans is that the majority of them never even saw Kerry in Vietnam.

No shit Dick Tracy....their were 3,500 Swift boat sailors who served in Vietnam, the names of some 250 appeared on the group's statement against Kerry; most did not serve at the same time or in the same place as Kerry..... SBVT asserted that it included, in total, 16 officers who served with Kerry in Coastal Division 11 as members...

It would be unlikely that all 250 served with him in the short time he spent there.

December 1968 through January 1969 – Kerry commands PCF-44.
December 2, 1968 – receives first combat related injury.
Early April, 1969 – Kerry departs Vietnam.

3 Purple Hearts
Bronze Star with Combat "V"
Silver Star

Quite a feat in slightly over 90 days......

:rolleyes: The problem is that those who weren't there claimed he didn't do anything to deserve the Purple Heart. How does that work bravs, clairvoyance?

I think it had something to do with the fact that although he had been "wounded" in action three times he never missed a day of duty.....
