"I've never been wounded, no Purple Hearts – scratches, little bruises, that's all," he said.

Maybe he could apply for a "Kerry Heart"? ... sorry

We’ve had no word from him since he last called on July 1st. I’ve just today set up internet service at home. I need to check my email to see if he’s sent any messages. I’ll let you know, but he usually calls rather than sending emails.

Just curious, does he get to put one of those "X's" on his helmet like the football players do when they get a tackle or a touchdown?

if so, thats a real dubious award that I wouldn't want to get too many of........

If youo have the address on the web where your picture is stored- which might look a bit like this:

"http://www.placewhereiuploadedmypicture.com/photos/pictureiwanttopostonfreerepublic.jpg" ...

All you need to do is type this:

<img src="http://www.placewhereiuploadedmyphoto.com/photoiwanttopostonfreerepublic.jpg">

But please make sure the size of the photo isn't huge.

"After regaining his vision, Keenan shot and killed the suspect."

Equally important detail in this story.

Deceased rags don't shoot anyone's helmet any more!!

Those are only issued to Democrats whose 3 wounds are
all self-inflicted from horseplay with, or incompetent
combat use of grenades or grenade launchers.
