	Boston Globe Online \| John Kerry: A Candidate in the Making
		Kerry, by contrast, was a neat, well-spoken, highly decorated veteran who seemed to be a clone of former President John F. Kennedy, right down to the military service on a patrol boat.
		Kerry did not wear his uniform and did not speak at the events, but the experience helped convince him that he wanted to become a public leader of the antiwar movement.
		Kerry, who understood well the importance that the media placed on imagery, put an exclamation mark on events by lining up with veterans to return their medals to the military on April 23.

	FactCheck.org: Republican-funded Group Attacks Kerry's War Record
		A group funded by the biggest Republican campaign donor in Texas began running an attack ad Aug. 5 in which former Swift Boat veterans claim Kerry lied to get one of his two decorations for bravery and two of his three purple hearts.
		Elliott is the retired Navy captain who had recommended Kerry for his highest decoration for valor, the Silver Star, which was awarded for events of Feb. 28, 1969, when Kerry beached his boat in the face of an enemy ambush and then pursued and killed an enemy soldier on the shore.
		Kerry's boat ran up to me in the water, bow on, and I was able to climb up a cargo net to the lip of the deck.

	The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Anti-Kerry group meets to decide on future role
		Kerry has given no indication that he might seek the Democratic nomination in 2008 and probably would encounter resistance from many in his party if he did.
		Kerry spokesman David Wade repeated assertions from the campaign that Kerry made all his military records public except for private medical records, and that even those had been viewed by a group of reporters last spring.
		The ads contributed to the broader Republican strategy of portraying Kerry as an unfit leader in time of war and drew wide attention, stalling Kerry's campaign at a critical point in August and generating criticism that the senator did not respond sufficiently to blunt the attack.

	Kerry asks FEC to stop vets' ads
		The Kerry campaign issued the statement to reporters after the veterans group challenging the senator's war record launched a second television ad today, this time charging him with betrayal for accusing them of war crimes.
		The ad, to be aired in selected battleground states, is the second issued this month by the group of 254 vets who served with Kerry and have signed a letter contending he is unfit to be commander in chief.
		Kerry's testimony was based on the "Winter Soldier" investigation in Detroit earlier that year in which his Vietnam Veterans Against the War heard stories of alleged atrocities committed in a climate said to have been created by the U.S. government and military command.

	Veteran retracts criticism of Kerry - The Boston Globe
		Kerry won the Silver Star for his action on Feb. 28, 1969, in which he shot a Viet Cong soldier who had been carrying a rocket launcher and running toward a hut.
		All of Kerry's crewmates who participated and are still living said in interviews last year that the action was necessary and appropriate, and it was Elliott who recommended Kerry for the Silver Star.
		Naval documents said that Kerry ''received shrapnel wounds in left buttocks and contusions on right forearm when a mine detonated close to PCF 94 while engaged in operations on river.

	The Raw Story \| Anti-Kerry group slapped with largest-ever election law fine
		The day after Senator John Kerry confronted a financier of one group that smeared him in the 2004 election, the Federal Election Commission reached its largest ever settlement on a fine for another group that attacked the Vietnam veteran in the last presidential race.
		The conservative group raised $45 million from prominent Republican donors in the 2004 election cycle and spent $30 million on advertising during the race.
		In December that group and two liberal organizations were collectively fined $630,000, in contrast to yesterday's $750,000 fine for a single organization.

	The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Book, ads assail Kerry's military record
		The group has come under fierce counterattack by critics who say that the men featured in the ad did not serve directly with Kerry and that their charges are refuted by extensive military records and numerous eyewitnesses closer to the action than the group members.
		Hoffmann, the admiral, says Kerry was hit in the arm by a tiny piece of shrapnel from a round he himself had fired from an M-79 grenade launcher, a shotgun-like weapon.
		Kerry's Silver Star — the military's third-highest award for heroism in combat — was awarded for his actions on Feb. 28, 1969, when he beached his boat, went after a Viet Cong guerrilla who was carrying a rocket launcher and fatally shot him.

		Several members of the group who were aboard nearby boats that March 13 said in the ad and in affidavits that there was no enemy gunfire during the incident.
		The man Kerry rescued, Jim Rassmann, and the crew of Kerry’s boat all say there was gunfire from both banks of the river at the time.
		Kerry is the subject of complaints by the Bush campaign and the Republican National Committee accusing his campaign of illegally coordinating anti-Bush ads with outside groups on the Democratic side, allegations he and the groups deny.
