This is old news already, but thought I'd share it anyway for those who are looking for ACTUAL documents on Kerry.

This was in Texas Tech University, Virtual Vietnam Archives:

Record 68512.

HQ US Military Assistance Command, Vietnam--Monthly Summary December 1968:

Summary of December events: IV Zone

entry:

242250 - Kien Giang Prov - A Swift bt on ptl, 8 mi NE of Rach Gia, rec rkt gren & hv auto wpns fire causing lt dam to the craft. 1 US pers was wounded. The bt was taken under tow & trn to Rach Gia.

Comment: Apparently, Kerry was taken under fire by green tracers and rockets on Christmas Eve. Only problem is the action took place 8 miles North East of Rach Gia -- I'm not a geographic specialist but this doesn't look like Cambodia to me.

Johnny Kerry - the legend in his own mind.

Way to go, Chief.

It is South Vietnam....

I think to the right of An Thoi, on the mainland.
