User talk:Kizzle/John Kerry Military Service

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Silver Star passage edited to include testimony from eyewitnesses reported in Brinkley and Boston Globe biographies and subsequent accounts (including the account given by the only member of SBVT present, Larry Clayton Lee), as well as that included in after action report.

Also, photo caption should be edited - it was Shlech pinning on Kerry's Bronze Star upon his return to the US, not Zumwalt awarding Silver Star. See caption in Brinkley biography. Also, photos of the March 6, 1969 Silver Star award ceremony (also included on page) show Kerry and other officers in khakis and crewmembers in blue workshirts and jeans.
