Viet Cong veteran Vo Ban Tam remembers the first time he crossed paths with John Kerry on the banks on the Bay Hap river, a day that ended in bloodshed.
Almost a half-century later, the now 70-year-old Mekong Delta shrimp farmer locked eyes with the US Secretary of State on Saturday and they warmly grasped hands in mutual respect.
Kerry returned to the Vietnam waterway at the end of a visit to the Communist nation, less than a week before he was to leave office, searching for the spot where he won a Silver Star for bravery as a young US Navy lieutenant.
On February 28, 1969, as the skipper of Swift Boat PCF-94, Kerry was patrolling when Vo Ban Tam's unit launched an ambush.

More fake news from the yahoo klan - read about Kerry and his B.S. ‘service’ in Viet Nam (he claims Laos and Cambodia as well) pure fiction.

of course, the person that didn’t meet with kerry was the 15 year old kid that he cut in half with twin .50 cal machine guns . . . shot in the back as he ran away.
that kid wasn’t available for comment.
my memory may be imprecise, but it seems that was somehow involved in his silver star.

Kerry was a stinkkin traitor like North Vietnam “ song bird” mcCain. I don’t think it is too late for a trial and there is overwhelming evidence on both those bastards

The tall, young, erudite Yale graduate stood out among veterans and his devastating testimony before a Senate committee in 1971 sealed his celebrity. He stood out as a bald faced liar.

I understand his TOTAL time in service in Vietnam was only 922 days before running back to Boston to the work with the Senator there for re-election.
And several of those 92 days were leave, R&R, training and indoctrination.
True?

Viet Cong veteran Vo Ban Tam remembers the first time he crossed paths with John Kerry on the banks on the Bay Hap river, a day that ended in bloodshed.
From the article:
Kerry locked eyes with Ban Tam and said “Yes - that’s him. Those slant eyes are seared in my memory.”
Ban Tam stared back, and through his interpreter said “I would know those round eyes anywhere - they are seared in my memory.”
