Kerry's "Silver Star With Combat "V"- A New Ballgame
B.G. Burkett, author of the definitive book on fraudulent medals, "Stolen Valor," told Lipscomb there's a problem with the citation for Kerry's "Silver Star with Combat V."
"I've run across several claims for Silver Stars with combat V's, but they were all in fake records," he told Lipscomb.
Several of the military records that appear on Kerry's Web site "appear to be fraudulent, according to U.S. Navy standards," the Sun-Times reporter told Malzberg.
"The Navy is now saying Kerry's records are incorrect," he added. "He's not entitled to this award. He's not entitled to that award. This is a new ballgame."

Kerry Stonewalling on Medals Mystery
Kerry campaign officials are refusing to answer questions about discrepancies in the military records posted to the presidential candidate's campaign Web site after Navy officials and outside experts challenged the authenticity of some of Kerry's decorations.
Chicago Sun-Times reporter Thomas Lipscomb said Sunday that he's tried to reach Kerry campaign spokesman Michael Meehan 10 times about the controversy - all without response.
On Friday, Lipscomb reported that former Navy Secretary John Lehman is challenging citations posted to Kerry's campaign Web site that include his signature.
"It is a total mystery to me. I never saw it. I never signed it. I never approved it. And the additional language it contains was not written by me," Lehman said.

After the above Articles, we received this email: "It is also interesting to note that Kerry did not obtain an honorable discharge until March 12, 2001 even though his service obligation should have ended July 1, 1972."
Is this another example of Kerry’s multiple, and increasingly transparent, lies about his alleged heroics in Vietnam?
