poor poor Kenneth E. Phillipps, You should read UNFIT for COMMAND. Several of kerry's peers who were with him in Vietnam have given affadavits that kerry applied for Purple Hearts. Show us the affadavits of kerry's peers that state that kerry did not.

None of Kerry's Purple Hearts were for serious injuries. They were concededly minor scratches at best, resulting in no lost duty time.Each Purple Heart decoration is very controversial, with considerable evidence (and in two of the cases, with incontrovertible and conclusive evidence) that the minor injuries were caused by Kerry's own hand and were not the result of hostile fire of any kind. They are a subject of ridicule within our unit. "I did get cut a few times, but I forgot to recommend myself for a Purple Heart. Sorry about that," wrote John Howland, a boat commander with call sign "Gremlin."1 Moreover, many Swiftees have now come forth to question Kerry's deception. "I was there the entire time Kerry was and witnessed two of his war `wounds.' I was also present during the action [in which] hereceived his Bronze Star. I know what a fraud he is. How can I help?" wrote Van Odell, a gunner from Kerry's unit in An Thoi.2 Comman-der John Kipp, USN retired, of Coastal Division 13 also volunteered,"If there is anything I can do to unmask this charlatan, please let me know. He brings disgrace to all who served." |
