The Navy says that they will not investigate Kerry's medals concluding that they were properly awarded to him. Yet the former Secretary of the Navy John Lehman said when shown the citation for John Kerry's Silver Star signed by him said the following to Chicago Sun Times reporter Thomas Lipscomb, It's a total mystery to me. I never saw it. I never signed it. I never approved it. And the addtional language it contains was not written by me. There are three citations for that one Silver Star, the first one tells how Kerry jumped from his swift boat 94 and pursued a Viet Cong soldier with a B40 rocket and killed him. But what was left out was the fact that the Viet Cong soldier was first wounded by the gunner on that same 94 boat, who shot him in the leg with a .60 caliber machine gun. So, Kerry chased down a wounded Viet Cong and killed him. In the second citation all mention of the killing of the Viet Cong soldier has been left out. Now in the third citation the one signed by John Lehman who was appointed by Ronald Reagan in 1981, 12 years after the incident which happened on Feb. 28, 1969. Now why would a third citation issued 13 years later, and the Navy has concluded that Kerry received this award properly. If all of this does not warrant an official Navy investigation somebody please explain to me why not?

I would suspect that the language the Navy used was parsed to no end.....ie, the procedure was correct. Nothing about the content. Also remember they probably only have the "real" copy of the Silver Star paperwork and citation and I would bet it says nothing about a "V" on it. Lurch made those up himself....and the arrogance of the bastard putting up three different versions on a web site. It truly is amazing how biased the msm has become as they try to find anything about the President's service and Kerry flagrantly displays 3 different citations for one medal...would someone please explain that to me...
