Euphoric after a big election victory, the organizers of this year's Conservative Political Action Conference say it's only fitting to pay tribute to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth for helping to stop Sen. John Kerry's presidential bid.
Former Georgia Sen. Zell Miller, the Democrat credited with giving one of the most memorable speeches in favor of President Bush at the Republican National Convention this summer, will present the award to Adm. Roy Hoffman (Ret.), founder and chairman of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
"For a second time, the Swift Boat Veterans stepped up to serve their country honorably and courageously by telling the truth about John Kerry's tour of duty in Vietnam," said ACU President David Keene. "Despite vilification, character assassination and the hostility of the elite media, these veterans dared to tell a side of the story that the American people otherwise would not have heard."

BTT!!!!!!
"Despite vilification, character assassination and the hostility of the elite media, these veterans dared to tell a side of the story that the American people otherwise would not have heard."
This is STILL true.
Both on the outside AND FR
Viet Nam Vets, in the eyes of some, are useless now.
We gave our vote now we should "move on"
Try being an Independent voter and a Viet Nam Vet
and your at the bottom of the heap.
Big Swifties ~ Bump!
Thanks for the ping!
I just love those Swifties.
bump!!
Special Note to the FReepers
who want me to "move on" and "get over it"
Guess what, I'm not.
Hats off to the Swifties, and its good to hear you aren't finished.
Thanks for the PING
Here is a perfect reason why we must NEVER let up.

Thanks Tonk! I'm gonna be there!
Good!
ROFL!! You and I had the same response to Tonk's post and I didn't see yours before I posted mine!! He he he!
NICE!!!!
"you'll never know finer men!"
"We will never get over it, but November 2 was the parade we never got."
These are the ones I seek justice for Brother
From my FR profile
I VOW to the 58,000 + Brothers and Sisters on
The Viet Nam Wall who never came home
and to those who died at home from injuries and
from broken hearts.
"I will do everything I LEGALLY can
to expose Hanoi Kerry once and for all.
I will not tire, I will not falter,
and I will not fail.
I solemnly vow to do all I can to restore your honor
until I give my last breath on earth."
Bravo Zulu to the Swifties for bringing it to the fore of national attention, but they couldn't have accomplished it without many other vets who stood alongside of them! AND John Kerry who has broken faith with the Constitution and his country (we veterans call it treason) IS STILL A SITTING SENATOR IN CONGRESS! So where is the hue and cry calling for his resignation? Only Tonk has been courageous enough to keep on that aspect of it.
Idiots are everywhere.....and those who think that Veit Vets are going to just go sit in the corner and be quiet....are....idiots.
We gave our vote now we should "move on"
No.

Sheesh....
