funny thing is he didnt throw his medals over the fence

"Kerry revealed during his first U.S. Senate run in 1984 he still had
his medals, having invited a wary union official to his home to
inspect his Silver Star, Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts.

In an interview with the National Journal in 1988, Kerry clarified his
statement again, declaring he threw out the ribbons awarded for his
Purple Hearts, but not the medals.

In 1996, he told the Boston Globe he tossed his ribbons but not his
medals because he "didn't have time to go home [to New York] and get
them."
