Can anyone point me to the Kerry story for how many people were injured on 13 March 1969?

How many were injured on the 3 boat?

All the wounded appeared to be on the 03 boat except for kerry. Go to www.johnkerry.com and go the spot reports. Look for 13 Mar 69 and you will find the report showing the combat action and casualties. One VN was KIA earlier in the day by a booby trap.

Rassmann also got a purple heart on March 13th, but nobody knows exactly what was the cause of his injuries.

Does anyone know if Rassmann has ever mentioned his injury or Purple Heart in speaking engagements, to the media, to the LA Sheriff's Dept, to the women he's known, to the Orchid Society, in job applications, his buddies, or at all, anywhere? Has anyone who served with him, e.g., Major Mark Smith, ever mentioned it?
