"It's like a Hollywood presentation here, which wasn't the case," Thurlow said last night after being read the full text of his Bronze Star citation. "My personal feeling was always that I got the award for coming to the rescue of the boat that was mined. This casts doubt on anybody's awards. It is sickening and disgusting." Thurlow said he would consider his award "fraudulent" if coming under enemy fire was the basis for it. "I am here to state that we weren't under fire," he said. He speculated that Kerry could have been the source of at least some of the language used in the citation."
Who wrote the citation??? I have a feeling that the WaPo ever decides to go after Kerry's records and not just his critics, we'll find that he was acting as his own hagiographer. I'll hang on for more. The last time the Swifties took a hit from the Boston Globe, there was more to it.
