• Delegates Mock Kerry’s Wounds, Angering Veterans

“Even leading Republicans said yesterday that things went a little too far when they had to publicly repudiate the actions of a delegate who was handing out adhesive bandages marked with Purple Hearts to mock Mr. Kerry’s war wounds.”

“The bandages, distributed by Morton Blackwell of Arlington, Va., included a message that read, “It was just a self-inflicted scratch, but you see I got a Purple Heart for it.””
