Separately, Meehan earlier this year showed the Globe a copy of a
medical
report that said Kerry was treated for a shrapnel wound that led to
his
first Purple Heart. Meehan would not allow a copy to be made of the
document.

The medical records would show the treatment received, and provide an
indication
of the severity of the wound. For example, if the treatment was a
band
aid, then
the severity would be minimal.

should never mention it?

That would be more appropriate than using it to proclaim oneself a 'war
hero.'

How about this: Any soldier who was in harm's way is a hero. That includes
millions, and excludes Nookular Boy. Simple.



Tell that to all the reservists. Those in Iraq, Afganistan, or about to go
