Here is the hard to find/infamous book cover! Every Marine needs to have this burned in his memory.

Kerry ran for election to the U.S. House in 1972 during which he found it necessary to suppress reproduction of the cover picture appearing on his own book, The New Soldier.

His political opponent pointed out that it depicted several unkempt youths crudely handling an upside down American flag to mock the famous photo of the U.S. Marines at Iwo Jima.

If the media are going to stoop so low as to engage Bush with his national guard service record, then I'm certainly going to fight the same fight with better evidence.

This information was sent to me by a close friend in the military. To the best of my knowledge, it is true. Here is a second source describing the book cover as in the photo above:

Thank you for loading the photo.

PS: What tags do I use to load an image in the thread?

[little jeremiah]

There it is! (Is one of them Kerry?)

[RightlySo]

No, I don't believe any of them is Kerry. The photo is the cover of Kerry's book he wrote in 1972 that he wants to keep quiet!!

There it is! (Is one of them Kerry?)

No, and he forgot to add his good friend Hanoi Jane, too. Pitty.

[RightlySo]

Grrr. I should have known/remembered about the image source tag (shaking head now). Thank you!

You know, the only way we know Kerry is really a war hero is because his democrat minions told us so. Medals are easy to come buy when everyone is throwing them around at a protest.
Can anyone tell me any more info about how I'd know for sure he really was a war hero?
Excuse my curiosity, but all I know about Kerry's heroism is what the democrats have said, and democrats lie.
He found a guy to follow him around, but so did Gore. He found a"poor" woman who had to collect soda cans to eat (Of course, she wore designer clothes, owned a nice home in an upper class neighborhood, had her hair professionally done, and drove her new RV around to Gore rallies, but Gore said she was poor anyway.)

[concerned about politics]

Again - Is there any information validating Kerry's claim of heroism other then what he himself has told us? Did he really have those medals awarded to him? I read on a vet site they don't believe him. They think he "found" them and claimed them as his own.
