Yes, that Admiral committed suicide because he was found wearing as I recall a 'NAVY E' ribbon which he wasn't authorized to wear.

As to Lt. Kerry's medals, the thing is that there is a precise order that they are to be worn - period. That's why for instance his pistol & rifle medals are on the bottom row - right where they're supposed to be. And until that jerk Terry McAwful started with the 'chest full of medals' & hero cr@p and saying Bush was AWOL, I didn't give it much thought. Then with Kerry's info coming out about his 'two tours' and seeing all his pics plastered all over, I'm going wait a minute, what the hell are those two medals after the Presidential Unit Citation?!?

And if they're for meritorious service (again I can't tell) - that he isn't/wasn't authorized to wear, well it's more proof of what a phony he is and could do him in for good.

So yes, Kerry's Navy records need to be released.

Why isn't the media clamoring for that and examining whether or not he really was entitled to wear each and every medal and ribbon he is wearing?

Did you see this picture? It's more of a close up and thought perhaps you can tell more about his medals.
