REPORT FROM THE FRONT DAY TWO – the Vietnam Veterans against Kerry demonstration at the DNC. REPORT FROM THE FRONT DAY TWO – the Vietnam Veterans against Kerry demonstration at the DNC.

Double WOW! Around 500 folks gathered at Bowdoin Square. These guys were really ready to change history. While most of them were fifty something white guys like me, there were a few men of color and a significant showing from the Vietnamese American community including beautiful women and children and, of course, my enthusiastic wife Cindy and daughter Barbara Jeannette.

Just before kickoff, the organizers from VietnamVeteransAgainstJohnKerry.com kindly allowed me to address the crowd about my experiences earlier in the day. Two forty something friends of mine had seen me on TV the night before and asked me what we had against John Kerry. Each of them thought all Vietnam veterans loved Kerry. I explained that:

“To the best of my understanding, at least TWO THIRDS OF ALL VIETNAM VETERANS HATE JOHN KERRY and consider him a traitor who came home early and betrayed us.” I went on:

“They thought John Kerry was my hero.” And the crowd got angry.

I then said “They think John Kerry is your hero.” And the crowd exploded.

Then “IS JOHN KERY YOUR HERO?” And the crowd went wild.

A couple guys came over and hugged me and patted me on the back. My daughter came over and hugged and kissed me and announced proudly to the world “He’s my Daddy.”

Little Barbara then told me sincerely “Daddy, this is the beginning of my political career!”...

Is this valiant effort getting any mainstream media coverage? I haven't seen any but I don't go out of my way to see the news on the 3 main networks.

God bless'em! These men and women could win the election for President Bush! Well done and carry on!

[Toidylop]

Truth needs to be told...

I wonder why people in the terrorist organizations are so set against Bush, but want Kerry in office? Hmmm...

Does anyone really think that the main media will cover this September 12th rally??? Man, I hope thousands are there!

Can you say "Rolling Thunder"???

They've endorsed Bush, I would be suprised if they failed to make that fact known.

Seriesly LOL.

Any time Freep has a good article about Kerry's war record, I immediately send it to all my friends with instructions to read it carefully and then send it everyone they know.

If the media won't expose him for the lying coward he is, then it is up to the rest of concerned America to do our small part in keeping this man out of office.

I lost too many friends and relatives in Viet Nam to allow him to "serve" honest people. He does not now, and never will deserve the White House. The Peter Principle still exists.

Profound thanks for once again fighting the good fight.

...he maneuvered behind me and said “Don’t worry, I’ve got your back.”...Well done - at long last Vietnam vets who were spit on, called "babykiller", and in so many other ways treated so contemptuously by much of this country, and Vietnamese who had to flee their own country, have a focus for all the resentment and anger they've had to swallow for years - John Kerry and his mock-patriotic Democratic party...it's payback time......
