John O'Neill had his day on the national stage 33 years ago, but this year he emerged from the weeds of his comfortable anonymity because of a burning belief that John Kerry would make an awful commander in chief – and had to be stopped.

Love him or hate him, Mr. O'Neill turned a presidential election on its ear. For his drive, vision and influence, we name him a 2004 finalist for The Dallas Morning News Texan of the Year.

That might be stretching it a bit but he definitely did his share and more...and for that we are eternally grateful.

From the shadows of the past will come one man with a mission. This man is John O'Neil and his mission was to destroy the enemy of Vietnam Vets, John Kerry "The Traitor".

John O'Neil won and Kerry “ the traitor” was destroyed.

John O’Neil a true American Patriot.

The nation owes John O'Neil a debt of thanks that can robably never be repaid. John O'Nil and the Swift Boat Veterans proved that, among good and dedicated individuals working together, no challenge is so great that it can't be overcome.
