One question - was Kerry on that destroyer in April 1968?
He considers that Vietnam service. His first tour, in fact.
Seriously - do those who should know consider that type of service "serving in Vietnam?"

Hubby was Navy, and he is considered to have served
in S.E. Asia, I believe. That is probably because
he dropped bombs in Cambodia and Laos, as well as
Viet Nam.
My impression was that anyone who was part of the
effort, and was in the area, is considered to have
served in Viet Nam...not just those with boots on
the ground.
