Capt Tom was outflanked by the Times again - OK here is a short text version

In the chaos, Mr. Kerry turns the boat on a dime, races forward, pulls the soldier into the bow and steers to safety. As a result, he wins the Bronze Star with a combat "V" for valor and his third Purple Heart: a ticket home from Vietnam for good.

He never sees Rassmann again.

Until Saturday, Jan. 17, 2004, a day after Jim Rassmann, 56, a retired Los Angeles sheriff's deputy and orchid lover, awoke in Florence, Ore., and decided to contact Senator John Kerry's campaign. <

The story makes no sense......none at all. The scenario described by the rescued man suggests that Kerry was alone on the boat. Is that possible that even tho he had been shot he would turn the boat around and go back into the line of fire.

Does anyone know if there is only one person to boat?
