It must be true. He stated in on the Senate floor and in an official report. Why would he lie in an official report? Here's the microfiche of the report to the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate...along with the citations.

Trip to Thailand Cambodia and Vietnam

here's the relevant part on page 1
"... During the war, military operations had carried me throughout many of the waterways and coast lines of southern Vietnam and even, occasionally, into Cambodia. "

Here's the reference info, so you can make your own copy.

And don't forget he left his Band of Brothers behind.

Numerous other officers, some with three Purple Hearts themselves, stayed with their men. Some have said Kerry is the only officer they knew of in Vietnam who opted out early on such a technicality involving trivial "wounds".
