This article states:

Letson is not named in Kerry's medical records as the "person administering treatment" for his first Purple Heart. The "sick call sheet" summarizing treatment of Kerry's wound indicates that a "J. Carreon" treated Kerry for the wound, according to both The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, as MMFA noted at the time.

There is no "sick call sheet" - that is bullshit reporting.
Carreon was the corpsman on duty who signed off after Dr Letson treated Kerry with a band aid. All of the men directly involved with Kerry's 1st purple heart (Zaldonis and Runyon) claim the wound was self inflicted and that there was no hostile fire that night. There is no after action report -which would have been repquired in the case of hostile fire, and there was no medical report because the wound was self inflicted and a minor scratch.




Swift Boat Vetrans NEVER claimed that the men opposing Kerry served UNDER him, but served alongside of him. They were all fellow officers who were duly aware of Kerry's day to day activities and were with him on patrols.
Out of 19 Swift boat skippers that are pictured with Kerry, 12 considered him unfit, 2 were neutral, two have died, and 3 supported Kerry. There were 4 other officers not in that photo - 3 of which opposed Kerry. So media matters is full of shit. The OFFICERS who served alongside Kerry are the ones the SBVT referred to and the ones that testified against Kerry.

and Gardner never claimed that he WAS present at those events, so Media Matters is great at spin and short on facts.
