Dear Senator Kerry,
I never met my uncle Will. He was a lieutenant in the Navy during WWII. He was killed in action on his PT boat in the Pacific. For his fatal wounds, he received the Purple Heart posthumously.
The first-captain of my West Point class took a bullet through the heart while leading a South Vietnamese airborne battalion into combat. For this fatal wound, he was awarded the Purple Heart posthumously.
My senior year roommate at West Point became a tunnel rat. A booby trap explosion killed him in the tunnels of Duc Pho. The army awarded him the Purple Heart posthumously. My plebe year roommate lost an eye and became permanently crippled. For his extensive wounds, he received the Purple Heart.
My battalion commander in Viet Nam was one of the bravest men I ever knew. He went out ahead of the troops in his light observation helicopter to find and kill enemy before they had a chance to fire on his men. That's how he died. For his fatal wounds, he received the Purple Heart posthumously.
You didn't need any recovery time from your three alleged "wounds." How does one get "wounded" and yet not need to recover from those "wounds"? With wounds comes suffering. Where was your suffering? How could you merit a Purple Heart when you weren't even a casualty? You did not earn your Purple Hearts; you wrangled them from the system through deception so you could go home early and get out of eight months of combat. That is despicable and shameless.

That's good. Very good. John Kerry did absolutely nothing to deserve those purple hearts. He wrangled three purple hearts out of the system, went home complained about the war, testified to the Senate about how terrible the war was, and then both takes credit this election for fighting in the war, and for being against the war.
and just think if he is elected president of the USA he will throw this up in your face and there is not a darn thing you or anybody else can do about it.
I agree wholeheartedly with your post. Kerry used the system to get three PH's in order to get out of Nam...
Has anyone else, other than Kerry, been able to get three PH's in a three month period??
Kerry's suffering. He can't wait until this whole election thing is over.
Another week and then he has his last challenge, facing TERESA!!
Very, very, very good letter. I'm sorry about those deaths : (
I agree. I think we should at least try.
I sent a lot of buddies home in body bags for doing a lot braver things than throwing a grenade into a barrel of rice and then putting in for a purple heart. sounds awfully like self inflicted wounds to me. And how come that peanut farmer upgraded his discharge. SIGN THE 180
