<font color=red>Kerry Bio - POLITICS IN AMERICA 1992 goldworld.net <font color=black> At Home: In 1971, Kerry, a leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, joined with other demonstrators as they threw their medals over the White House fence. When the incident is recounted, Kerry takes pains to explain that he opposed the returning of medals as a tactic and returned none of his own (three Purple Hearts, a Silver Star and a Bronze Star). He did throw the medals of a veteran from Worcester, Mass., who could not come to Washington, and he also threw several of the ribbons he had received with his own medals. Kerry's ambivalence about the war protests of his day may be shared by much of his generation. But it also fits the pattern of irony in Kerry's career. He has never fully divested himself of the trappings of his privileged youth or his career as a decorated naval officer. But his political rise has been notable for its antiestablishment tone. * * *
