Mr. Musgrave said he received three Purple Hearts in Vietnam. After the third Purple Heart for wounds by three 7.62 rounds, one to the jaw and two to the left chest, Mr. Musgrave refused the standard release from further service in the combat zone offered Marines with three Purple Hearts and tried to return to his unit, he said.

But because of the extent of his injuries he was retired from the Marines with full disability and sent home, he said.

Contrast this veterans service to John Effing Kerry's "three boo-boos and I'm out". (To be entirely truthful, one of those boo-boos could be classified as an owie and required a Snoopy bandaid and a kiss before it felt better.)

I haven't heard exactly what his wounds were. Would you explain, please?

I've been trying to find out what Kerry's wounds were, exactly. Do you know?
