- The leader of an organization of Purple Heart winners joined in the protests Tuesday as Democrats said “purple heart bandages” distributed by a GOP convention delegate to mock John Kerry were a slap at all who have won the decoration.
The leader of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, an organization of Purple Heart winners, said Tuesday he was angry about the way “purple heart bandages” were used to make a political point.
“I have received numerous calls from members of our organization to protest the misuse of our award,” said Robert Lichtenberger, national commander of the group.
“They are outraged that an award that has been earned by them for shedding blood on the battlefields of the world would be so denigrated by using it for the purpose of political advantage.”
- Are you really going to let a bunch of chickenhawks and phonies pay lip service to how they support you, and then stick a knife in your back when the election is over? Think about it.
