Kerry Still Carries Shrapnel in Leg from Vietnam

[GreenGreenLimaBean]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) still carries a piece of shrapnel in his left thigh from a 1969 Vietnam War wound that led to his second Purple Heart, his doctor said on Friday.

Kerry, the commander of a "swiftboat" in the Mekong Delta in late 1968 and 1969, was hit by the shrapnel in a Feb. 20, 1969, firefight. Dr. Gerald Doyle, Kerry's personal physician, said removal would have required an even wider incision in the leg.

Kerry won three Purple Hearts, as well as a Silver Star and Bronze Star, while in Vietnam.
