Here's some more hero pix: http://www.vietnamwar.com/JohnKerrySilverStar.htm "On a request from U.S. Army advisors ashore, Lieutenant (junior grade) Kerry ordered PCFs 94 and 23 further up river to suppress enemy sniper fire. After proceeding approximately eight hundred yards, the boats again were taken under fire from a heavily foliated area and B-40 rocket exploded close aboard PCF-94; with utter disregard for his own safety and the enemy rockets, he again ordered a charge on the enemy, beached his boat only ten feet from the VC rocket position, and personally led a landing party ashore in pursuit of the enemy. Upon sweeping the area an immediate search uncovered an enemy rest and supply area which was destroyed. The extraordinary daring and personal courage of Lieutenant (junior grade) Kerry in attacking a numerically superior force in the face of intense fire were responsible for the highly successful mission. His actions were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service." |

Alcoholic, coke snorting deserter. > He must be a wicked loser. I thought Kerry was going to sign a release so we could all have a look at his records... Comparing a lying faggot like Kerry to Sgt. Smith is psychotic. |

If the Silver Star wasn't awarded honestly, why did the "Entire chain of command" award him the medal? Why wasn't it taken away from him as soon as the Navy realized its dishonesty? "John Kerry served two tours of duty. On his second tour, he volunteered to serve on a Swift Boat in the river deltas, one of the most dangerous assignments of the war. His leadership, courage, and sacrifice earned him a Silver Star, a Bronze Star with Combat V, and three Purple Hearts." www.johnkerry.com > Good thing he has faggot lawyers admire him and carry on his lies for him. "They dug deep for dirt, dredging up things long past and erecting a fantasy world worthy of a Vince Flynn novel. What they found is domain names and sexy pictures from which sprung rumors and conspiracy theories. Based on some of the emails I've received, many of these people were conflicted with hatred for my politics and tingling they experienced while viewing pictures said to be me." http://www.jeffgannon.com/Column%20a...he_press_r.htm |

Cause he threw it away? -- One million Marines cannot seize Tarawa in a thousand years. Admiral Keiji Shibasaki, 4 days before his death. |
