will kerry commit suicide for medals he didn't get? In fact, they do not even exist? cnsnews.com\SpecialReports\archive\200409\SPE20040916a.html "Kerry's record is incorrect. The Navy has never issued a 'combat V' to anyone for a Silver Star," said a Naval official to reporter Thomas Lipscomb in an article for the August 27th Chicago Sun Times. According to the Sun Times article, "Naval regulations do not allow for the use of a 'combat V' for the Silver Star, the third-highest decoration the Navy awards. None of the other services has ever granted a Silver Star 'combat V,' either." cnn.com WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The nation's top Navy officer, Adm. Jeremy Michael BOORDA, died Thursday from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound hours after learning Newsweek magazine was raising questions about the legitimacy of some of his combat medals. The "V" for valor on such awards is reserved for acts "involving direct participation in combat operations," according to military code. The Navy released documents late Thursday which indicate that BOORDA was not authorized to wear a combat "V" decoration.
