TESTING KERRY'S MEDAL By NILES LATHEM NY Post April 15, 2004 -- <font size=4>John Kerry was facing questions about his celebrated war record yesterday after his former commanding officer in Vietnam said Kerry didn't deserve his first Purple Heart medal because his injuries were just a scratch. Lt. Cmdr. Grant Hibbard, who was division commander of then-Lt. j.g. Kerry's Navy unit, told The Post he opposed Kerry's petition for the Purple Heart, awarded to service people wounded in combat, for an encounter with Viet Cong smugglers Dec. 2, 1968. "There was just a little scratch on his forearm and he was holding a small piece of shrapnel [in his hand]. It didn't look like much of a wound to me," said Hibbard, who says he spoke with Kerry hours after the mission was completed. "I didn't think he deserved a Purple Heart," Hibbard said in a telephone interview from his Gulf Breeze, Fla., home. <font size=3> nypost.com
