As I recall Kerry received a Purple Heart when he tossed a grenade in a
barrel of rice and took a couple of rice grains in the butt as he was
running away.  Another band aid injury.

Am I correct that three such injuries got him three Purple Hearts that took
him out of harms way?  I can't imagine Kerry would be proud of those Purple
Hearts, especially considering the Purple Hearts earned by our soldiers in
Iraq and Afghanistan.  I should think Kerry would be ashamed to even apply
for a Purple Heart for such an injury.  They need  to award Pink Hearts for
those kinds of injuries.

I don't find much to like about Kerry.
