Kerry describes war injuries to Boston Herald

Boston, MA - John Kerry has finally described his war experience in his own words to Boston Herald reporter Larry Fitzgerald early Thursday. In an account that is almost tearful at times, Kerry recounts how he was badly injured in Vietnam.

"It was evening in Danang, and I was finishing up some paperwork I was submitting for my Bronze Star. It was eerily quiet in the camp. I reached for the cup on my desk and then it all happened so quickly I barely had time to react. I looked down at my hand and saw one and a half inch paper cut along the outside of my palm. There was so much blood I went through two cotton swabs before I could get the bleeding to stop. I still carry some of that wood pulp in my hand today"

According to Fitzgerald, Kerry had to pause at this point before continuing and showed so much emotion that a tiny extra wrinkle appeared on his face. An intern quickly loaded a hypo and gave Kerry a Botox booster. The interview continued.

"It was then that I heard a cry nearby. I jogged over to the tent next door to find that Lieutenant Argis had also been struck down by the saboteur's cheap Vietnamese paper. I was able to pull him to safety. He pulled through though - I just saw him last week - but he walks with a limp and can never have children."
