I just tried to go to "vfw.com" to see if I could send it to them, and it requires a logon and password. Does anyone have the ability to get on there?

[doug from upland]

Thanks for the confirmation. We have to get this stuff right.

[Reagan is King]

Oops, American Legion meeting is what I should have typed. Thanks!

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

Turns out I had a bum steer: Kerry will be appearing at the American Legion tomorrow, not VFW.

[Interesting Times]

Here is the original version, which I posted to WinterSoldier.com back in about March, complete with the tasteful yellow highlight marks. I'm getting a bit weary of watching WorldNetDaily issue breathless articles that use our stuff without attribution six months after the fact.

All that to the side, the flyer is a stunning example of what the VVAW was really all about during the period of Kerry's leadership.

[doug from upland]

Thanks.

[Slump Tester]

LOL - Oh well, I probably just pissed a bunch of VFW folks off for nothing then.

I grabbed every email address at vfw.org on their "contact us" list, then sent them the jpeg and asked them to hold John Kerry responsible for for his affiliations.

Back to the drawing board!

Thanks, Times. I thought I was well-informed on Winter Soldier matters but had missed this entirely.

As to WND, yah, they rip shamelessly. Their timing's good in this case, though.

If you have any more good stuff, freepmail me!

Thanks for your good work.

If it doesn't bother you that American soldiers do these things every day to the Vietnamese...

B-B-B-B-B-B-But he was just repeating what other soldiers had told him! He wasn't saying that all the soldiers in Vietnam were war criminals!

[Doug Fiedor]

Way to go!

And, Thank you.

Unlike some other writers on the net, I ALWAYS give credit from where I ripped stuff off -- and I provide a link so readers can go see the material in context for themselves.

There is a lot if good material on the WinterSoldier site. I'll be pointing as many people over there as possible these next couple months. Already started, actually.

Fork, meet John Kerry...he's almost done.

Was this what the VVAW handed out when they did their "Winter Soldier March" across the countryside to Valley Forge?

Yes, though they called it the "Rapid American Withdrawal" (RAW) March -- September 1970. Kerry and Fonda both spoke at the closing rally.

I'm not in a place where I can do this right now, but someone could probably fax a copy to the location where the speech is being held along with a supportive word or two to the veterans.
