Im so frustrated at the comment I mentioned above I feel compelled to quicly expound on my statement. I would never, either privatly or especially publicaly, throw away the awards I recived wether it be actual medals, COAs, or even coins. I EARNED them and I would be doing a huge disservice to my friends who died in OIF. Not to mention all service members living or dead. And I think its crazy that someone who did that, so publicly would try to run for Commander-In-Chief. And to ad insult to injury to call service members "kids" gimme a break. I bet that when HE was at war he would hate such a patronizing comment. Because, gee wiz, "kids" are always willing to figt and die for thier country.....gimme a break. If your not in the service you might have a hard time understanding. Go through Basic Training, go to war, acomplish so much in so little time and sacrifice so much for others and for the nation and then have someone, espically a prospective president, call you a "kid" Boy oh boy that just endears me to Kerry and his ilk.
