Larry Lawrence's War Fabrication
Larry was on the USS Bushnell off
Murmansk when a German U boat torpedo hit, Larry was tossed into the
icy waters receiving a severe head injury.
Larry has painful memories-- "When
that Nazi torpedo hit I lost all innocence, and trust. 'It is not a
story that I'd care to relive today except to say we all believed we
were helping mankind and our country as patriots.'"

Larry to get a
purple heart
Last year, Patrick F. Kennedy, then-assistant secretary of state for
administration, asked the Army to approve a waiver for Lawrence
because an injury while in the service would have earned him a
Purple Heart.

The Truth Is Larry Sat Out The
War
The chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs investigations
subcommittee, Rep. Terry Everett, R-Ala., said military records did
not show a Larry Lawrence on the SS Horace Bushnell or even in the
Merchant Marine.
Larry wasn’t on the torpedoed ship – in fact he wasn’t even in the
service. Lawrence was a full-time student at Wilbur Wright
College in Chicago from September 1944 to June 1945 and was not a
Merchant Marine .
