How common was it for a person to receive medals at the rate and number that Senator Kerry did?
Winning three Purple Hearts, the Bronze Star and the Silver Star in four months is rare. We have received letters from countless veterans outlining serious injuries — far more serious than any Kerry sustained – who said they did not seek a Purple Heart, because they did not feel it was warranted by the minor nature of their wound. In any case, the Senators full disclosure of his military records will shed light on the truth.
