Lieutenant Commander Grant Hibbard remembers -- "[Kerry] had a little scratch on his forearm, and he was holding a piece of shrapnel." What's more, according to Hibbard, Kerry's fellow soldiers said at the time that they didn't think they had received any enemy fire.
Hibbard says he questioned Kerry about the incident, but Kerry was so persistent about earning a purple heart that he reluctantly dropped the matter.

Kerry's fellow soldiers said at the time that they didn't think they had received any enemy fire. Maybe it was friendly fire.....how well liked was Kerry at that time?.....He may have needed to get out of town fast.

He was
holding a piece of shrapnel...when nobody had seen any action that day??
Oh MAN, this gets better and better. No wonder he's such a bad actor now...he was one then, too! Hibble obviously knew Kerry was giving him a BS story, and as much as said it right there.

51 - "Hibbard says he questioned Kerry about the incident, but Kerry was so persistent about earning a purple heart that he reluctantly dropped the matter."
LOL - His Commanding Officer got him back, on leaving Vietnam he was assigned to a transport ship and went on an Artic tour to Goosebay, Labrador, and Thule, Greenland.
