His diary entry is 9 days after the incident, and from I've heard, the diary entry does say "have yet to encounter any enemy fire."

But wait, there is more. This is the PH request that he tried to submit through Hibbard, and Hibbard told him "no." The processed request for the PH came 3 months later.

So, heads up on a technicality, when the paperwork for this PH had been submitted. it was AFTER Kerry's flotilla had encountered enemy fire. But the incident, well, KErry's personal records seem to indicate his first PH injury occurred before Kerry had encountered enemy fire.

He got shot before he got unshot....wait,...not shot.
