I'm almost through on this subject. I have to go write a check for Kerry now, a thing it had never occurred to me to do. He may not win, but this is my protest against something that disgusts me. I know Purple Hearts are for wounds and not heroism. They show that he was serving where the shrapnel was flying, and no one denies that his unit was an exceedingly high death-rate one. The silver and bronze medals are for heroism. I dare say you will find people to say they weren't. He left as soon as he could, and came home and fought to end the war. Before he left, he got safer assignments for his men. Kerry's early departure meant that he was leaving behind a crew that had suffered through many bloody battles with him. Worried that crew members would be killed, he arranged for them to receive a safer assignment. When one crew member, Medeiros, tried to stay, Kerry "came and talked to me and said, `I really would like you to go. ... I'd like to know you are safe, or safer."'
