Wow! This dynamite! <font size=4>Kerry changed the record on his medal.

A Collection of thoughts blog.

From the Washington Times comes the following: <font color=blue>Uneven military service records have proved toxic to John Kerry's campaign for president, prompting him to post his full military record on his Web site for critics to peruse.
<font color=black>
But one sharp-eyed Washington Times reader — a former B-52 pilot and U.S. Air Force colonel — isn't buying Mr. Kerry's pre-emptive strike. <font color=green>"I looked at that Web site and the first thing I looked at was Kerry's Silver Star citation. Guess what? It is for an action that took place in 1969, <font color=red>but it is signed by Secretary of the Navy John Lehman<font color=green>. Strangely, Lehman was secretary of the Navy from 1981 to 1987," <font color=black>he noted. <font color=green>"How could Kerry have received a citation from an official that would not be in office for 12 years? This was NOT just a case of providing a new copy of a citation for the office to replace one that was lost (destroyed/thrown over a wall). <font color=red>This effort by Lehman & Kerry actually changed Kerry's official Navy record, sometime in the 80s,"<font color=black> he continued.
<font color=green>
"What other portions of his record did Kerry have Lehman sanitize or spiffy up? Evidently, Kerry did not think his original Silver Star made him look <font color=blue>'heroic'<font color=green> enough, so he provided <font color=blue>'suggested'<font color=green> words for a new certificate. This certainly calls Kerry's entire Navy record into question."
