Kerry's Medals

@Jolly said in The Coronation:

Thought Kerry chunked those over the fence?

So what medals is he wearing? I think he was awarded 3 Purple Hearts a Bronze Star and a Silver Star.

Although...he claimed that the tossed medals weren't his, but belonged to someone else.

Also, is it appropriate for a civilian to wear his medals at a non-military function?

Looks kind of Soviet era.

Well, it was the 1970s.

It's a Brit thing.

Yes the British people were very impressed with his medals.

He was hailed as a great hero.

What a man!

On the channel I watched Mr Kerry was identified and simply described as a one time runner for president. That was it.
I did wonder why he was invited.

Perhaps because he's all into global-hot/cold/wet/dry like Charles?
