Terrific photo of Kerry over at Yahoo


Sen. John F. Kerry, D-Mass., seen in this 1960s photo, receives a military decoration during the Vietnam War. Hardly a speech goes by in which Kerry, a decorated war hero, does not invoke Vietnam and its legacy. Vietnam buddies travel with his campaign entourage and appear in his ads. At an emotional appearance just before Kerry's huge victory in the Iowa caucuses, he was reunited with a serviceman whose life he had saved as the skipper of a river patrol boat. Kerry was awarded the Bronze Star for that rescue, less than a month after earning a Silver Star for beaching his boat and jumping ashore to chase down and kill a guerrilla who had a rocket launcher pointed at the Americans. After being awarded three Purple Hearts for minor injuries, Kerry's request for reassignment stateside six months early was granted. (AP Photo/Kerry Office/File)

6. Last week's issue of TIME
Kerry on the cover. He looked like Jackson on the $20 bill. Now that's gravitas. :)
