Purple Heart Bandages: the Trademark Dept at J&J took my info

[jean]

Spoke to an attorney who assists Larry Rickles, of the Trademark Dept.

I told her about CNN showing the delegate and P/H bandage last night and that I was told it was a Band Aid brand band aid used to put a sparkle purple heart sticker on to mock Kerry's military service.

Told her how furious I was at this denigration of our vets and troops. (at this point my voice got a shaky, I've talked to quite a few people on the phone today. 3M and now J&J)

I directed her to do a goggle search for purple heart bandage so she could see the pix herself.

Plus, I directed her here:

When she saw the second button she said, "Oh no...that's ours."

This metro spy.com site has the button up for sale PLUS is going to make a decision tonight to put an actual bandage up for sale.

The attorney said she was sending this info in to her boss (he was on a conference call) 'as we speak. He'll want this right away.'

She took my name and phone number. I said, please don't give my number out to the NRC, and laughed weakly.


Here is the first thread I posted today, after calling 3M:
