Kerry did not miss one day due to "injuries". A little bactine and he was good to go... Severity of injuries unknown ``Shrapnel in left arm above elbow. Shrapnel removed and appl bacitracin dressing. Ret to Duty,'' it said. The note is followed by a signature that appears to say ``JCCarreon'' and some illegible letters that Meehan said probably designate the medical official's rank. Meehan said the campaign would allow a reporter to see the record at the campaign's headquarters, but not take a copy. He said it would not be made available to the public because Kerry considers it a private medical record. Documentation for the second two injuries show that Kerry was deemed to be in good condition and returned to active duty after treatment. The documentation does not describe the severity of the injuries. A third Purple Heart meant Kerry could be reassigned out of Vietnam, and a document dated March 17, 1969, said Kerry requested duty as a personal aid in Boston, New York or the Washington, D.C., area. Meehan said that although Kerry could have asked to stay in Vietnam, it was the Navy's decision to request that he be reassigned. Kerry left the country in early April 1969.
