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.

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