Statement of Larry Bailey - Vietnam Vets for the Truth - Press Conference - Sept. 7, 2004

Larry Bailey - Vietnam Vets for the Truth | September 7, 2004 | Larry Bailey (prepared statement for press conference)

[reformedliberal]

Do either of you have any inkling from anyone involved of how many you expect? I know this will be stifled. I hope there are so many, that by word-of-mouth, the entire world finds out about it.

We wanted to attend. We simply cannot. So, I'll use this post to first of all thank you two and the others who FReep & organize with you. I respect you tremendously. I have read your posts & exploits over the past 4 years. As someone who was there in the 60s, you are all way more effective than anyone Alinsky ever trained. You act honestly and ethically. They never did.

Second: my thanks to every veteran/active military attending for their service and my congratulations to them all for making this event happen. The scales of justice are being balanced.

This is undoing everything done over the past 35 by the left. They are so smug about their vaunted Social Movement that they have no idea it is over. Ours has begun. The left abused the veterans, the military and the US government in order to overthrow our system. Now, the veterans, the military and the present administration and those of us who support them are overthrowing the fascists who lied to everyone who honestly believed their slander. This is a generational payback.

This time it really is for the children.

Posting the article is a service to all of us. How would we stay informed...

I would appreciate you passing my remarks on to Capt Bailey.

Tonk, your words, Captain Bailey's words, and all of the statements by our honorable veterans will go down in the history of our country to expose JFraudKerry for the traitor that he was then and continues to be today. By his silence and refusal to release his military records, he is admitting guilt to every claim he has made, every position he has taken over the last 40+ years, and his real lack of character. He is a liar. He has been a liar since he was trained to be a liar, working for Teddy Kennedy beginning in 1962.

There are many things we will never forget.

Thanks for the ping.

Check this thread. Bob Dole is joining Vietnam POWs to Unveil Documentary Stolen Honor at a press conference tomorrow.

John Kerry reopened a very old and painful wound, and the Vietnam vets (and their survivors) have about had enough of his BS, it seems.

Thank you very much for the info. I should be in town in time for the NMAT if anything is being planned, and have to spend some time at the wall doing things for people.

In God We Trust…..Semper Fi!

[Happy2BMe]

Thanks for the pings. We'er not out of the woods yet.

Dan Rather and CNN will do all they can between now and Nov 2nd.

First, I have to clarify... we are not involved in the organizing of this rally. The credit for that hard work goes entirely to the Vietnam Vets for the Truth. We are just doing what we can to spread the word about their most worthy event, and of course to attend.

And thank you for your very kind words. I do what I can to make sure that no other American soldier will ever feel that he is hated by his own countrymen.

Someday I hope we have the chance to meet in person, reformedliberal. If you are ever in the area, give us a shout and we'll arrange a get-together to welcome you to town.

Thanks for the ping Tonk. I showed hubby the flier for this rally. I've been putting it up on the bulletin board at our local diner just about every day. (Somebody keeps taking it down.) Hubby's still tired most of the time since the bypass, and I know how much he hates crowds, so I didn't even consider the possibility of us going. A couple days ago he suggested we should go. I expected by now he would have realized he really didn't want to go, but he fooled me. He has our transportation all worked out. We're going!

The only thing I need to know now is who will be televising it? I need to set the timer on the VCR.

Hey Kerry...
It's The KARMA, Stupid

[Oreo Kookey]

I can't help but wonder when the CBS presentation of "the other side" is scheduled for airing. The media makes me so sick. Thank God for sites like Free Republic. Without them the truth almost would never be told. My sincere thanks to all who work so hard to tell the truth.

[Twinkie]

Pass this on.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

Much has been said by the news media about the Swiftees being a front for the Bush campaign. We know those guys, and we know that is not true.

Say they do(just for the sake of argument) have a connection with the Bush campaign. What does that have to do with what they are saying? I may of missed it but I've not heard any one refute their arguments as to why Kerry is unfit for command.

This book and their ads come out and Kerry
1 stops talking to the press
2 watches his campaign implode
3 rearranges his campaign staff...again

Connect the dots.

And little johnnys boat hits yet one more mine.

My husband did two tours (complete) in Vietnam, and one in Korea at eighteen. Neither of us could forgive Kerry----no matter what he did. He caused us, personally, agony, to say nothing of the lives and futures lost because of his lies.

My husband was advised, when he came home the second time, not to wear his uniform off the Post. I had to take clothes for him to wear home. He was called all the horrible names that every other soldier was called, in addition to "lifer pig" because he was a career soldier.

My husband did tell me the other day that he "sort of" agreed that the defeat of Kerry might be "the coming home parade we never had". We've already made our donation to Viet Vets for Truth, as well as Swiftees, "Stop Hillary PAC", Viet Vets Against Kerry, Bust/Cheney '04, the RNC, and any other "right" thinking group we've found! I agree, Capt. Bailey, this is, indeed, personal!

[Lancey Howard]

BUMP!!!
To all: Please bump this.
Thank you.

[Lancey Howard]

BUMP
(See? It's easy.)

[singfreedom]

A BIG BUMP!

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that Your Word admonishes us not to think that You can be mocked with impunity, for You reveal that whatsoever a man sows, that he will also reap. Galatians 6:7.

Many are the Veterans, O God, who have longed for the day when lies would be buried in truth, when deception would give way to decency and honor and respect. Thousands upon thousands of America's mothers and fathers shed tears as they bid farewell to sons and daughters as they left the warmth of home ... many to return to the cold earth of their beloved country ... most to the scorn from those who believed a lie.

The tears have continued, O God ... mostly in silence, but they are there. Open up our hearts as our beloved Veterans gather on Sunday ... cause us to pour out our tears upon them, for we weep at the withholding of honor that is their portion. They gather to refute the lies ... they gather in homage to fallen comrades ... they gather for their children's children ... they gather because they are Americans who love their country.

Merciful Father, may Your Spirit enter the home of every beloved warrior on Sunday ... bring peace to each household ... bring assurance that You have seen each sorrow, You have noted every tear, You know the very deepest heartache. And You have stirred these patriots once again to serve their country ... they reject the lies and stand for the truth. "Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

Thank You, Heavenly Father, for each one whose name we know only as "Veteran." ... Amen

[Lancey Howard]
