Wait! I see what you mean, on the doc in question. Disregard my question, please.

[firebrand]

wrong time direction

[Frank_Discussion]

It looks more like this guy:

[Republican Red]

Sure looks like an "Le" to me.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

It's definitely this guy ...

[Frank_Discussion]

lol!! That's gross!

[moondoggie]

Welp....we all seem to agree that the name looks more like "Lehman" than "Chaffee". And....aren't most government documents dated when signed???

Anyway, how do we get to the bottom of this and is it important in the larger scheme of things or not?

I just hate to see ole "Chisel Face" pull a fast one if this documentation is not legit!

[Frank_Discussion]

I'm serious, though. The pic I popped up is of Sec. Chaffee, and I can see the medal-pinning pic as him from behind and as a younger man. It certainly isn't Lehman circa 1981 or later, J'Effin would be too old for that at that point.

[Frank_Discussion]

"...is it important in the larger scheme of things or not?"

You bet your brass monkeys it's important! One, he may be lying about his record for political gain. Two, he may be forging FEDERAL DOCUMENTS!

[Bommer]

Sure doesn't look like a Chaffee. Been awhile since I've been in school, but I think thats how I was taught to make an 'L'

[eastforker]

Could his service been revued ten years later and then the medal awarded? I know Kerry ain't all that bright but could he be this stupid?

[Frank_Discussion]

The IQ for high-functioning Libs has been dropping steadily over the decades... But you have a hard time hearing such idiocy reported.

You would think this would be too big to ignore.

[aimhigh]

Bump to tee off a liberal later today.

[Bommer]

Only way to truly confirm is to find a signature of John H. Chaffee and compare. If true, this would be HUGE! So far I've had no luck! Start searching!

[Cultural Jihad]

Perhaps a request for a replacement of a lost original was made in the '80's? Otherwise, what gives?

[kittymyrib]

Would the Navy have awarded a medal 10 years later AFTER JF'nK threw his other medals over the White House fence and called his fellow servicemen war criminals? This can't be true...

[Bommer]

THIS IS INTERESTING

I took both Kerry's Silver Star and Bronze star Citation papers. I copied them into Photoshop. I took both pages and lined them up and took the translucentcy down and lined up just the signatures, which is why the rest is blurry. The signatures (assuming they aren't a rubber stamp are identical

[blau993]

I did some Google searches trying to find copies of Lehman or Chaffee signatures and had no luck. Perhaps others more proficient than I might do better. Or, perhaps some of our highly decorated Freeper brethren who have citations signed by Lehman or Chaffee can answer the question for us.

Good catch!!!
