Kerry's Silver Star Citation(s) Kerry's Silver Star? John Kerry does not want to address the serious charges about his "hero" status because there are BIG holes in his embellished service record -- he knows it, as do we. Set aside Kerry's collection of three Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star in his four months in Vietnam, and consider for a moment, Kerry's Silver Star -- the third-highest military honor our Nation can bestow (below the Medal of Honor and the three service "Crosses"). Kerry's DD 214 Record of Transfer or Separation (posted on his website), lists a Silver Star with a combat "V" (for valor) -- but, according to the Navy Awards Manual, the "V" Combat Distinguishing Device is never awarded with the Silver Star -- regardless of what Kerry threw over the fence in 1971. But the most notable problem is that Kerry's citation has not one citation, but three -- each one a revision of the previous, and the last revision made more than 20 years after the first.
