The first public statement I've seen about this was from 1979.

Rassman, who spent less than a week on his boat and barely knew Kerry at all, made it clear Kerry pulled him out of the water and earned his Bronze Star (he recommended him for Silver). Kerry was not hurt in the Rassman incident and no Purple Heart came out of it. It's bad enough Ty is whitewashing these stories. Et tu, SAMmy?
