TAN AN TAY VILLAGE, Vietnam (Reuters) - As John Kerry's boat winds its way along the turbid waters of the Cai Nuoc river in Vietnam's Mekong Delta, the U.S. Secretary of State is taken back to the time he spent here as a commander of an American patrol boat during the Vietnam War.
But it is not only the past that brings Kerry to this remote part of the Mekong, the 12th largest river in the world. He is here to deliver a message about the growing threat of climate change and the impact it will have on the delta and the millions of people that depend on it for food, water and transportation.
It is the first time that Kerry has returned to the Mekong since 1968 when he served as a young U.S. naval officer in Vietnam battling Viet Cong guerillas in a conflict that earned him three Purple Hearts, a Silver Star and a Bronze Star.
"It is obviously amazing for me to be here today," Kerry told students gathered on the banks of the Cai Nuoc river. "Decades ago, on these very waters, I was one of many who witnessed the difficult period in our shared history," he said.
"Today on these waters I am bearing witness to how far our nations have come together and we are talking about the future. That is the way it ought to be," he said. "As our shared journey continues, our eyes are firmly fixed on the future and not on the past."

“that earned him three Purple Hearts, a Silver Star and a Bronze Star.”
Nice to have the Kennedy’s as your buddies.
Maybe he stubbed his toe or got a paper cut or something so that he can be awarded another medal.
It appears that his visit will be longer this time than it was the last time.
I can’t believe people are still talking about climate change. How can anybody report this without commenting on the craziness of it?
Sorry, I can’t post what I am thinking. The last time I did something like that I was kicked off the site. (Not this one)
Most millenials learned more about climate change in school than the US Constitution.

Kerry’s mere presence is causing enviornmental damage?
By the way, Kerry as refused to release his military records. I think he was dishonorably discharged for his actions, and no one knows who gave him 3 purple hearts over the course of 4 months, himself without a scratch to show for it.
Because the issue is never about the issue. This is about wealth transfer (with organizations like the Clinton Initiative and the Heinz Foundation, etc, etc, etc funneling money and taking a cut).
Businesses now depend on indoctrinated Americans aka suckers to pay through the nose for their "green" products.
Environmental groups use threats of bad publicity to extort money from energy companies.
Politicians take "donations" to advance environmental positions (pro and con) from large corporations.
It's BIG Environment.
Cha-CHING!
....if anything, he’s consistent. He was a POS then and he’s a POS now.
But now his fat face filled with Botox fits his fat head.
“Most millenials learned more about climate change in school than the US Constitution. “
I’ve spoken to them at the gym. They learned climate change and greenness like theology. Generally, they’re ignorant of American history as well. One who said he graduated in the top 5% of his high school class didn’t know who JFK was. He could name the presidents starting with Carter. (Sad.)
Kerry should take a swim in the river.
When he was fighting so intensively firing lead at the VC HE WAS POISONING THE ENVIRONMENT WITH LEAD. And now he is back to the same place talking about environmental degradation that has occurred - A LOT OF WHICH HE CAUSED!
HYPOCRITE, LIAR and typical liberal.
Yeah, hope they’re stocked-up on purple band-aids, he’s kinda accident prone
“Earned”? How about awarded. By the way. Did you know that squire john heinz-kerry of the long face has been to VN? Twice. Kennedys? Dead kennedys? Or are we talkin’ her royal highnee princess caroline.
did he go visit the grave of the unarmed teenage boy he shot in the back as he was running away?
All those awards in 3 months in VietNam, just before being sent home as UNFIT FOR COMMAND
