I believe that a SKerry loss could give Viet Vets closure because it would let them know that the majority of Americans believed in them.

It's amazing that the fact that a US Senator could have helped the enemy while still IN UNIFORM as a Naval Officer. He should be investigated for what he admits to have done while in the military NOT what Bush did or didn't do while in the ANG. Persective, anyone? You can't brag about 4 months in Vietnam and then forget the trip to Paris as a traitorous Naval officer, 20 years in the Senate missing meetings, etc. He would have us believe that he went to Vietnam, snatched a guy from the water, went into a deep sleep and then woke up next to TeRaysa with a hint of ketchup on his cheek. Nov 2nd will be a fun night.

MIDI - JUST WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST

JUST WHEN IT WOULD HURT US THE MOST

(John Kerry & Vietnam Vets)

You came to the war zone and...joined us in battle and
A swift boat's in your command
We didn't know then you were out for yourself
And all the things you had planned

You won a few medals and…for that you'd settle and
There was a record...now you could boast
Then you...had turned on us...just when it would hurt us the most
You turned on us when it would hurt us the most

Then in Senate hearings with…the whole world watching you
Your brothers you had defamed
We're killers of babies and criminal scum
Of us our nation's ashamed

You won a few medals and…for that you'd settle and
There was a record...now you could boast
Then you...had turned on us...just when it would hurt us the most
You turned on us when it would hurt us the most

When we came back home we thought…we did our duty but
People would spit in our face
We felt that those jungles in which we had fought
Had been a friendlier place

You won a few medals and…for that you'd settle and
There was a record...now you could boast
Then you...had turned on us...just when it would hurt us the most
You turned on us when it would hurt us the most

Our kids are serving now...they do it proudly and
You tell us you want to lead
We'd all walk through hell to be stopping you, John
Those words you had better heed

You won a few medals and for that you'd settle and
There was a record...now you could boast
Then you...had turned on us...just when it would hurt us the most

I hope the cruel and disgusting acts of John Kerry are exposed in every newspaper in the country by the families of the heroic Vietnam veterans.
The son of a veteran has a letter in our local paper today.

My dad was one of the fortunate ones who came home. Both my parents and I will be delivering some payback on November 2.

Thank you for speaking up for me, Carol Crowley. Thank you. I remember it all very vividly - it wasn't just our Vietnam vets, it was also our active duty -- smeared by John Kerry and his allies. I will never forget the untold harm it caused countless families. The stresses. The vilification.

Who is this POS saluting, and why? Senators don't rate a salute and any self-respecting veteran would only give him the one fingered salute.

No war is ever truly forgotten; nor should it be.

Taken a little up the Wall, another hero smeared by the man who would be President of the United States.

While we are dismissed as dirty politics, the truth is we would be doing the very same things if Kerry were a Republican. President Bush has never had anything to do with our opposition to Kerry, and if the president makes a personal appeal to us to stop, we cannot and will not do so, because there are some things that can never be forgiven, can never be forgotten. John Kerry is one of those things.

God Bless you and your family! Thank you for writing so eloquently about this very important topic. Indeed, the one image I have - seared, seared - into my mind is Kerry sitting before the Senate trashing all veterans.

My father, a career (30 years) Marine, and I (Kerry's testimony cured shortly before I entered the Marines) watched the bulk of Kerry's testimony. My father said things that day I'd never heard come from his mouth.

In 1975 I was part of the Marine contingent that evacuated Saigon. Once we were back on the Carrier (USS Coral Sea), I was approached by a German Catholic Priest and a Nun. They needed food for a baby that had been handed to them as they got on one of our helos. As a parent, I can't even begin to image the horror of handing my child to a complete stranger so that the baby would live. The Marines of my platoon gathered up every C-Rat can of fruit we could find and helped to mash it up so that the child could eat it.

I think about that baby a great deal. I hope that she made it. I lost track of everyone once we disembarked at Subic.

We were NOT baby killers. We saved hundreds, if not thousands of children during that war. The stories of Navy Corpsmen and Army Medics Bradley entering enemy territory to care for sick kids are too numerous to mention. The anger that still resides in my heart about the things Kerry said to the Senate has been latent for some time now. Until he won the nomination, it was not something that I even felt on a regular basis. He was in Massachusetts - and I was not there. But when I understood that this man - the man who caused my father to curse, swear, and nearly destroy our TV - was selected to run for President, the floodgates opened.

Kerry is a traitor to his country, the Naval Service, and every Veteran who has served this country. His arrogance, deceit, and subversion condemned a generation of Veterans to hide in the shadows - ashamed that they served their country. Not once has he apologized for his lies. Not once has he admitted that his actions were damaging - not only to the POWs and service members still fighting in that war at the time - but to the current American service members who are fighting the war on terror.

We Viet Nam Veterans will NEVER forget what Kerry did to us, and we will NEVER allow this man to Command our sons and daughters.
