No you are wrong again. Sunday, September 05, 2004 Navy Department review of Kerry's medals and alleged misconduct Several readers have emailed me recently to point out Thomas Lipscomb's articles for the Chicago Sun-Times (Aug. 27, Aug. 28, Sep. 3) and Prof. Henry Holzer & Erika Holzer's FrontPageMag.com article, which raise questions about the multiple, nonidentical citations issued for Kerry's various medals and related matters. Some of the citations include additional language puffing up the descriptions of Kerry's heroics,and the form DD214 displayed on Kerry's campaign website references a "Silver Star with Combat 'V'" — which is a nonsequitur, since this "Combat Distinguishing Device" for "valor" is never awarded as part of a Silver Star, which already requires combat "gallantry" anyway. [Update: Dr. James Joyner of Outside the Beltway has more about this point and adds an example of a clerical screw-up on his own Bronze Star.]
