I've seen comments about this before, and was curious.
Have just been googling, and will not claim that I've searched all links way back when, but all that comes up that is directly related to Kerry and a visit to Walter Reed is a link that states he PLANS to visit WR.
I've been doing a bit of searching on this now, and there is nothing that comes up readily that he actually MADE that visit.
This was from May 2004:

Kerry Decries Treatment of War Veterans
Democrat John Kerry told veterans Saturday that "we've got to get folks out there marching again" for their benefits. The Massachusetts senator also planned to visit Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington later Saturday to talk privately with patients.
"It's not something I'm doing for the campaign," Kerry said. "It's just personal."
Baloney. Remember RR's funeral and Kerry going to the front of the line, climbing over the tope and having his photographer take lots of pics? If he'd gone to Walter Reed, that photographer would have been there, snapping away. He never went, just talked about it and then went on vacation again.
That was 'tape', not tope. Sorry.
