On the other side is John Kerry, served less than 3 months, accrued three purple hearts, submitted by himself because he was an officer and a gentleman by act of congress. No scars that we know of but it got him sent home as decorated. So he could throw someone elses medals over the white house fence. I happened to be there when he was.

Did not know that there was a special day for the Purple Heart. I have my uncle's (the person that raised me) Purple Heart. He was shot through his clavicle by a sniper during the Battle of the Bulge in Germany. Let's not forget any of these solders that gave so much. Thanks to all that served............. Badbull

There are not enough "thank you's" to offer for the risks taken and the sacrifices made. It goes far beyond a simple "Thank you". As a nation, we are forever in your debt.
