How many versions is Rassman going to tell on this. This is his version at the convention. Was he on Kerry's boat or not?

Former Army Green Beret Jim Rassman joined a dozen other of John Kerry's Vietnam crewmates on the convention stage in the lead-up to the candidate's address.
Rassman told the convention he wouldn't be alive today if it weren't for Kerry. In a March 1969 ambush, Kerry led his swift boat through heavy fire on the waters of the Mekong Delta and pulled Rassman to safety after Rassmans own swift boat was blown to pieces.
Kerry, who was wounded that day, earned a Bronze Star for valor.
Rassman, a registered Republican, called up John Kerrys campaign before the Iowa caucuses to volunteer to help. He told delegates he'd seen Kerry's "bravery and leadership under fire," and that he would be "a great commander-in-chief

As many as it takes,obviously. He'll repeat whatever Kerry tells him to say,with as much conviction as they tell him it'll take to convince the MSM.

Not true. Rassman said he got a call out of the blue from Kerry's people that John wanted to meet him after 30 years. At this meeting Kerry asked him to help him and his campaign.
