There are several thing we must answer before the hypothesis "Kerrly Lies about MLK Jr." could be proven either true or false.
The first question is what does he meant by him saying he was serving in Vietnam?
Was the USS Gridley part of the Vietnam operation when he was on board?
Then there is the location of the USS Gridley during Kerry's time in the Vietnam War.
I shall used the website to try to determine where the USS Gridley was. According to it:
Quote:

Kerry has often referred to his yearlong tour of duty on the USS Gridley as his first tour of Vietnam, even though the frigate only approached the coast in the Gulf of Tonkin.

The part of the Gulf of Tonkin is part of Vietnam.
The question arise, where in the Gulf of Tonkin was the USS Gridley located during Kerry's tenure at the ship?
