Kerry claims that his first Purple Heart was earned during a nighttime patrol, when his group was attempting to stop the Vietcong from transporting contraband. In Douglas Brinkley's biography of Kerry, "Tour of Duty",

Also in Brinkley's biography he writes of a journal entry Kerry made some time AFTER his first purple heart was awarded that he had yet to encounter enemy fire!!! So Kerry, if you hadn't yet received enemy fire, how and why did you get a purple heart?

I think the only explanation Kerry has is that he is twins.
