This was on Fox “Grapevine” tonight:

John Kerry speaking at a Martin Luther King day celebration in Virginia last
year said, quote, “I remember well April 1968, I was serving in Vietnam. A
place of violence. When the news reports brought home to me and my crew
mates the violence back home and the tragic news that one of the bullets
flying that terrible spring took the life of Dr. King.” That date, of Dr.
King’s death, was April 4, 1968. According to kerry’s website, it was not
until November 17, 1968, that he reported for duty in Vietnam.
