Kerry's 3 Purple Hearts

[VorpalDoom]

All this controversy on how/why he got them is confusing me to say the least... I know he got 3, I know the first one is from a shaving cut, the second from a shrapnel wound from a floating mine that he detonated by shooting it, but, the third Im not sure.... Could anyone help me?

Purple Heart no.3 according to the record:

On March 13, 1969, a mine detonated near Kerry's boat, wounding Kerry in the right arm, according to the citation written by [Navy Admiral Elmo "Bud"] Zumwalt. Guerrillas started firing on the boats from the shoreline. Kerry then realized that he had lost overboard a Green Beret who is identified only as "Rassman."
"The man was receiving sniper fire from both banks," according to Kerry's Bronze Star citation from that day. "Lt. Kerry directed his gunners to provide suppressing fire, while from an exposed position on the bow, his arm bleeding and in pain, with disregard for his personal safety, he pulled the man aboard. Lt. Kerry then directed his boat to return and assist the other damaged craft and towed the boat to safety. Lt. Kerry's calmness, professionalism and great personal courage under fire were in keeping with the highest traditions of the US Naval Service," Zumwalt's citation said.

Why all the hostility, CJ? So what if his first 2 medals were somewhat illegitimate?
