Jim Selders let me know of your site. Thanks for it. I was at Mang Buk in 1966. Then at
IIFFV 68-69. This Kerry brewhaha is old stuff, but it does show what a jerk he is. Still
praying every day for President Bush, the administation and this country. Say a prayer for
OK Senate race. The best man did not make it onto the ballet; maybe Mr. Humphreys will be
OK next governor. We have a good republican running for the seat vacated by Senator
Nickels. Keep on keeping on. Liberate the Oppressed Werner, David R. LTC,USAR retired.

Hi. Thank you for the articles that you wrote. My husband and I are both Viet Nam era
vets, and as I read these tears just flooded as I remembered the loss and the grief that
we had losing friends. Then, anger, at what that atrocity of a human being is doing to
their memory. War is often a sad necessity, but to use it to further ones political
ambitions is unjustifiable. Thank you for your service to this country.

I have read your Kerry article with interest. I have to agrre that John Kerry cannot
lead this country. While I have no ties to the military I have been reading with interest
and listening to many vets and really understanidng their cpositions. Keep up the good
work.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. YOU SAID THAT SOME OF YOUR SUPPORTERS HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY
KERRY SUPPORTERS IN A UNFRIENDLY FASHION. I HAVE BUT ONE THING TO SAY TO THE KERRY
SUPPORTERS AND THAT IS THEY ARE SUPPORTING A LIAR WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN COURT MARTIALED AND
FORCED TO RESIGN FROM THE SENATE. IF THEY CONTACT ME I WILL TELL THEM TO KISS MY ASS AND
GO STRAIGHT TO HELL. SIR, I SALUTE YOU AND PRAY THAT GOD GIVES YOU THE DETERMINATION TO
KEEP ON FIGHTING TRASH LIKE KERRY. SINCERELY YOURS, BILL KELLAM, KOREAN VETERAN

Are you an idiot or do you just think everyone else is? You post lies thinking nobody
will check them. Your references for your lies are opinion columns except for John Kerry's
speech which I agree with 100%. You and your ilk are pathetic. Kerry/Edwards 2004

Your site was posted on www.wiredseniors.com and I visited it. I have nothing but
praise in reference to your attempt to spread the truth about John Kerry. Would that more
would come forward and expose the man for what he has been and now is.

I wish there were some way to ensure this information was more public. I would not
vote for Kerry as senator let alone president. My motto is "Don't get Kerry'd
away". Your proof just reinforces what a liar he is. I am a 20+ year veteran of the
Air Force and to me, his achievements would equate to me telling the world that after
falling out of the back of a C-130 and surviving, I singlehandedly landed right in the
very spot where Hussein was and captured him. Hey, I can embellish too! Keep up the great
(and most importantly honest) writings of the truth, and see what you might be able to do
to get this information more public. I know I sure will. I pray that Kerry loses and the
voting public turns out in mass in support of a guy who has unquestionably done great
things for this country and the world....Our current President, George W. Bush! David A.

Don, Thanks for your site. I wish I had the time to do something similar to this.
Thanks also for your service to our nation. I was in Vietnam 1967-68 (2/501, 101st).
Afterwards, I was discharged because of the wounds I received (unlike Mr. Kerry, it took
more than a bandaid and cyclosporin to treat mine). Because of Kerry's traitorous actions
in the VVAW, I would rather spend a night with Rosie O'Donnell than vote for Kerry. God
Bless, Keep on Fightin' SCREAMIN' EAGLES!!

Mr. Bendell, I am a retired SF SFC (10th Grp) and current police officer. Your opinion
pieces are the most thought provoking and insightful I have seen regarding the election. I
have forwarded your site and the articles to everyone on my e-mail list and asked them to
do the same. I agree with you 100%. My mind was made up before I ever knew any details
about Sen. Kerry and his post-war activities. My decision was based soley on his
ultra-liberal voting record and anti-second amendment stance. The information that has
come out since his bid for president has only solidified my position. As you said, we must
do everything possible to keep him from becoming our commander in chief. If not, he will
make "Wild Willy" look like an amateur. Keep up the good work. Respectively,

Congratulations on your wonderfully honest statements. As a daughter of a highly
decorated pilot, member of the Army Air Corps then the U.S. Air Force, Col. P.A. Laking
would also be so very proud of your courage. One of my sons, who has fought courageously
in the Middle East, also asks me to send his congratulations and thanks. Surely the
American people are far too smart to elect a liar and a fraud whose Senate record is so
dismal he falls back on his four month service in Vietnam where, after getting bandaids on
his "wounds" videotaped himself in the role of hero, then returned to this
country to denigrate his role and the role of his fellow soldiers, disgracing them further
by aligning himself with Jane Fonda, who to this day remains one of the most hated women
in the country. Thank you, thank you, thank you Don. Cooky McClung

Don, thank you for your continued great service to our country. I, too, am a Vietnam
vet who is thoroughly disgusted with John Kerry and his life long history of ambition,
opportunism and self-promotion with utter disregard for such concepts as truth, honor,
loyalty and integrity. this election I am making sure I speak to everyone in my family and
circle of friends, to tell them about John Kerry and, if they agree, to get them
registered to vote. My entire family is united in our resolve that John Kerry be defeated
resoundingly on November 2. People, especially young people, look to veterans with great
respect and your words will carry great weight. I would urge all like-minded vets, vet
families and vet supporters to talk to your wives, your sons and daughters, your friends
and other relatives and, if they agree with you, make sure they are registerd to vote
November 2nd. Please note that the deadline to register is fast approaching in many
states. This is a terrific website and I enjoy reading the many heartfelt entries. God
bless you all!

I got out of the U.S.A.F. just prior to Vietnam but a lot of my friends went over and
fought. I remember well the treatment they got afterwards also. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE A

of the truth.

I am only a housewife, but I can see this election can only be won with prayer. It is
as people are blind and cannot see the truth. God is still on his throne, and He is in
control. I pray Bush will be elected, as the thought of having Kerry as a president really
scares me. Our freedom as we know it in America is in danger. Everything I believe in will
be attacked by Kerry if he is elected. Americans need to get on their faces and pray to
God to put Bush in office again, as He is the one who puts Kings (and presidents) in
power. America needs to turn from her wicked ways and seek God again, and God promises to
hear us and bless us again. GOD BLESS AMERICA

Thank you for your service in the real combat zone. I'm a retired Navy vet who mmade
three deployments into the gulf on the old USS Oriskany (CVA-34) and stand with you in
your questioning of Sen Kerry's service and in paticular his besmirching of all those who
made the ultimate sacrifice and can not speak for themselves.The fact that he made these
remarks and accusations, and the matter of fact manner in which he made these remarks, to
me, shows that he is only interested in drawing attention to himself and his self serving
ways. His is a personality not to be trusted with something so important as the presidency
of this great country. To his "Band of Brothers" who stand beside him I would
ask how much , and in what manner the DNC is compensating them for their and words and
services.

My time was 1968-1969, flying Scouts for the 1st Cavalry (AM). You're right about
Kerry, but all this emphasis on events of 30-odd years ago misses the point. This is an
election for President of the U.S., not Class Prez of the local junior high. "Vote
for me, I'm prettier" should not be the basis of decision. The issues of the day are
(among other things) abortion, the 2nd Amendment, and the tax codes. Neither party is
exactly covered in glory on those issues. I'll have to admit, though, the liberal
Democrats come out a damned poor third. Right behind Gus Hall's bunch! Glad you made it
back! Remember those who didn't. Gaucho

remembers these idiots calling our troops babykillers. It seems that the attitudes are the
same but they cant say it out loud now is, because most real Americans would hand their
teeth back to them one at a time if they tried. We must all remember that these coward's
hatred of the military stems from their fear and cowardice when called upon to do a man's
duty, and to admit they were wrong back then they would have to hold their manhood
worthless today. Semper Fi USMC 1985-1992

Thank you for exposing John Kerry and his lies about his service in Vietnam. It will be
interesting to see JFK's reception at the VFW convention in Cincy tomorrow and what he has
to say. Will he apologize for his remarks of 4-22-71? Maybe he'll show up with his three

assume she has chosen wisely. Dumb me, I never checked out his voting record. Was not
campaigning for him or even planning to vote for him, but did not think he was as smarmy
as he is turning out to be. Thank you for your courage in speaking out and in allowing all
of your labor to be forwarded, without reimbursement. This, among all other things, should
demonstrate the truth behind your words. I confess I was duped by J Fonda and fought by
protest the VN war. I further confess, I was guilty of not insisting our returning men and
women be feted as were the military from Korea and WWII. Whether we believed in the war
there or in Iraq, whether we believe in (any)war, our very life's blood was, and is
being,shed in those places and should have been honored. I made peace with the men I went
to school with when we opened the VN and Korean Vets memorial in our boro park, with a
young man I once fancied I loved and nearly died when he nearly died flying a medevac, and
with a guy from my boro who died in VN when I went to the traveling Wall. But it will
never be enough. Or so I thought till I read this site. Because of you, I can do something
. . . spread the word fast and hard and I've realized all I have to do is some homework.
Thank you.

| Viet Nam Veteran, I am glad to see that you are out there exposing
Kerry for what he is, and oppertunist, traitor and a man not to be trusted. David K. Royer Fort Collins, Co USA - Monday, August 16, 2004 at 01:24:30 (EDT) Thank You for standing up for what is right and we believe in. Don God Bless you..We are in this free country because of you and Soldiers like
you..It is just a damn shame that these liberal circus clowns called the Media don't
realize that they are biting the hand that feeds them..Their tunnel vision is appaling..I
served 3 years in the 50's and have backed every vet organization since then..The
president should be backed by his countrymen and not bashed.. You have an awesome website---As a former Marine who served in Vietnam in 1968/1969
I consider kerry worse than Jane Fonda whom I consider a traitor---We must do all we can
to make sure that kerry is defeated in the coming election---Keep Up The Great
Work!---Brad and Faye Lamdin Danang 1968 Phu Bai 1970 You go guy, and keep up the good work. Kerry sucks!!!!! Kerry and his kind want to claim for the Democratic Party the word
"value," as if their liberal way of thinking could be rooted in true American
values. Let's take a look at that: Kerry and Liberals want you to focus on what you do not
have and how "oh so horrible" it is that you do not have it. That is not a
value; that is whining. President Bush and Mr. Bendell know that resources already exist
to create your own American dream, and you must focus on those with creative,
strong-willed gumption to make the dream come true. Working hard for want you want is a
true American value. Kerry and Liberals want you to think that other people - like
Republicans - are holding you back from your full potential. That is not a value; that is
whining. President Bush and Mr. Bendell know that personal responsibility and strength of
character make anyone capable of success. Taking charge of your own life is a true
American value. Kerry and Liberals want you to believe that being wealthy is a bad and
ugly thing that should be regulated so that more money goes to people less wealthy. That
is not a value; that is whining. President Bush and Mr. Bendell know that charity is a
traditional foundation of American life that all people -- rich or poor -- can and do
exercise without the interference of government. Being wise enough with your money to be
able to help others is a true American value. Kerry and Liberals want you to think the
government should offer handouts to those who are struggling without regard to merit. That
is not a value; that is rewarding whining. President Bush and Mr. Bendell know that
families are to take care of their own, that churches and local organizations are to help
the truly needy, and that government is suppose to manage the framework of how we all live
together, not how we should live. Hard work, personal responsibility, taking charge of
your own life, helping others with charity, being wise with your money, and a government
that governs instead of being an enabling sugar daddy -- yes, that's the America I value. Thanks for holding the tide against the entrenched liberal denegration media. And
thanks for doing your homework - backing up your elequently written claims with facts. How
refreshing. Oh it's so sad. It's a sad sight to see so many misguided military morons
indoctinated into a world of gun-ho, kung-fu grip, G.I. Joe fantasy BS to think they know
more about what's good for their country because they shot a few "gooks" in a
war they thought was righteous. In fact, they were nothing more than cannon fodder and
guinea pigs for the fat cat arms dealers who were peddling their goods to the government
they SO loved. You think diplomacy is something that ends at the barrel of the gun. You
think strategy is a head-on assault. You think tactics is beating someone over the head
until they agree with you. Sorry guys, you've been fooled. You're not fighting for
freedom, liberty, or the American way of life. You're simply helping the fat cats get
fatter. THat's not capitalism, it's not democracy you're fighting for; you're protecting
cronyism, and plutocracy. And for the record: Kerry volunteered to go to Vietnam, G.W.
"Monkey Boy" Bush barely passed the National Air Guard exam, and was pushed
ahead by his father's connections. Even then, G.W. Bush did NOT serve his N.A.G.
honorably. He was AWOL for 5 months, and was eventually suspended from flying. Get your
facts straight. Thank you for the info and the updates. I feel the same as you do. Thank you for giving people the real deal on Kerry. His is a disgrace and with God's
grace, we will not have him in the White House as our President. He has no morals and no
respect for those currently serving or those that have served in the past. As for Michael
Moore, he is an ignorant fool and no respect. Whatever pads his pocket is what he
projects. He should move to Iraq or Afhganistan and then maybe he would have more respect
for authority. My husband is currently serving in Afghanistan. It is no cakewalk. He has
watched Farenheit 9/11 and sent it home to us to watch on DVD. I knew it was fate when the
DVD arrived and will not play on our DVD player. He called Michael Moore an idiot. Those
serving in the Armed Forces support Bush and his efforts. He is their leader and has led
them well. I chat with other military wives on an internet website and was so disgusted
with the ads of Kerry that continuously popped up that I asked them to replace them with
something else. I mean, really, who wants to look at death warmed over now and the next
four years? Thank you for all you do on the efforts to keep Kerry and those like him out
of the White House! John Kerry must have been in a different U.S. Navy than I was. All of the stories of
his exploits, as provided by him and his supporters sure would have got the guy at least 1
of the following 1) verbal admonishment, with notation to the service record 2) written
reprimand 3) relieve of duty 4) court marshall. I am a Vietnam Veteran and I agree with everything you said about john kerry.He was
and still is a disgrace to the United States and the Vietnam Veterans.You are right when
you said Bush Led not lied, like kerry is doing. Thanks for the email about Kerry, I forwarded it to everyone on my mailings. 2/35th
inf 4th div Thanks so much for getting the word out on the real John Kerry and for the service
you have and continue to render to our great country. Don, great work on exposing the truth about Kerry. My husband is a Vietnam veteran
U.S.Army 4th Infantry Div,, serving 68-70, He also had a brother in the Marines serving in
Vietnam at the same time and neither would come home, remember that if a family already
had a son in Vietnam, the other son did not have to go, but neither would be the one to go
home. Another older brother, 101st Airborne, Green Beret, that served 2 tours of Vietnam,
he gladly went back the second time. I am appalled by the verbage (lies)that the
"leftist" news channels, newspapers, Hollywood stars (who really cares what
Hollywood has to say anyway, they live in a fantasy world), say about our President. The
news channels should play the footage of 9/11 again, then maybe the "leftist" do
gooders would remember why we are fighting???!!!!Keep up the good work, I will pass this
on to everyone I know. God Bless You, and God Bless America! Don. I believe the Bush people are holding their fire. As we get closer to the
election we will see a blitz of info on Kerry's disgraceful voting record, and his
treasonous behavior after he left Viet Nam. When the country learns more about Kerry, he
can't win. God Bless your family, and God Bless America. George Mills USAF 66 to 71 Mr. Bendell, My hats off to you for trying to expose Kerry for what he really is, a
low life liar. If only the obviously biased media would print this stuff, the country
would be better off to find out about this fool. I tuely think that the so called silent
majority of this country knows all about the schmuck and he will NOT get elected. Besides,
we are at war. Never change commanders in the middle of a battle, not a good move. Semper
Fi I enjoyed your site. I am looking forward to visiting again. God Bless America. Keep after him, Brother Don. We are your real band of brothers. Kerry's not. I was
there 68-69. Your the man. This is a must read. It is about the new book written by swift boat veterans to tell
the truth about John Kerry. The Democrats are sweating this book release so much they are
trying to sue people who will give airtime to the Swift boat veteran cause. And I thought
we had freedom of expression, especially when the expression is that of the truth.
http://www.townhall.com/columnists/anncoulter/printac20040812.shtml "we have 2 johns to flush in nov"... "i not fonda kerry". Project Delta B-52 5th SFA (abn) 1st SF I served in the Air Force during the conflict. I only spent a short TDY in country
as an electronics weenie. My two boys have served in the Iraqi Freedon campaign. One was
in the Air National Guard and the other is a calvary scout with some
"specialized" training. Enough of my family. I want to thank you for your
letters since the "media" won't tell the truth!! Thank you for providing enlightment to veterans that served in Vietnam.. The truth
must be heard. I served 3 tours in RVN, From Jan 67 to May 69. My two younger brothers (SF and
retired from the CIA, and one a slick pilot with the 1 st Cav, now a retired Lt. Col) We
fully support you and your endeavors. Though I was in the rear, ( 1 st Log ) I want to
thank you for your service and tell you that I am proud of you. God Bless you and lets
keep that Traitor out of the White House. Sincerely Pat Fitzsimmons Dear Don, As an active duty Senior Chief with nearly 19 years of service and
currently on the line in support of OEF/OIF I first want to thank you for your service to
our great nation. I truly appreciate your candor in regards to Mr. John Kerry. I find it
appalling to see an individual who has cheated the military system to cover their own ass
then use the American political system to feed their own financial gain. As I watch these
young men and women dying over here as they face the enemy head on, it becomes harder to
watch a man compete for the highest office of our country knowing that he skirted his way
out of frontline action by using the underlining rule of three purple hearts. More
importantly by accentuating the wounds in flowery wording in which to receive them. Here
most do not get the opportunity to get two or even three purple hearts, because most
wounds have be due to direct or indirect hit with RPG¡¯s. I would rather that he (John
Kerry) had just shot himself it the foot, hand or better yet his head. Especially after
his disgusting display in the streets of the US as a lead protester with GI Jane and who
had the balls throw his awards in the White House lawn (I guess they don¡¯t mean much
when you haven¡¯t earned them). A man who condoned spiting on the men who had fought in
Vietnam long after he had returned, as they walked thru the airports and down the streets
of American. That would include my great uncle also an Army Capt who served five years in
country and who like you was also part of the SP Forces as an advisor to the South
Vietnamese; my father who served 3 ?years on the front line on the ships and river boat
patrols picking up the bodies of our US service men so that could make it home to their
love one for closure (who passed away at 55 due to exposure to Agent Orange) and my
step-father, Terry Bradley (the nephew of Gen Omar Bradley) who was part of the elite
green beret (a Forces of Seven member) who still won¡¯t talk about it to this day. Don,
you know the nightmares continue long after getting home. John Kerry, don¡¯t even think
they have forgotten. Funny thing about service in a war zone, you never forget! After
watching our military going through eight years for downsizing and reduced funding during
the Clinton years. I honestly don't think I can stand another period of consuling our
junior enlisted to give up their pride and go back on food stamps as another poor example
as Commander and Chief rips down the military to parade rest. Having to wait for a
returning deployed ship so you can obtain a critical part so that your ship can be the
next reliever on station ¨C funding was that bad. John Kerry, he¡¯ll vote YES today and
when the CNN poll shows a shift tomorrow will vote NO and deny any involvement. Yes for
the war, No for funding the men and women on the front lines ¨C go to war with no
bullets? We can¡¯t afford another Clinton, who talks but does not act. Who turned our
military into the World Aid Service (WAS). Who with overwhelming information sat on his
ass during a golf tournament rather than take a phone call from his Secretary of Defense
and blew the chance to take out Bin Laden before 9-11 (ref the book by Lt. Col Robert
¡°Buzz¡± Patterson, USAF(Ret) called Dereliction of Duty - a direct witness). We had
the chance to keep to war front in the terrorist¡¯s back yard but instead we let them in
our own country. It was the worst feeling I have ever had while wearing this uniform, than
to see my own home front destroyed while we the Armed Forces of the United States were
deployed in every aid stricken country around the world rather that protecting the home
front as the military was intended for. To say everything achieved in Iraq by the US and
coalition forces have served no real purpose. Well, to John Kerry I say grab a flack
jacket, helmet and M-16 and hop in a hummer; spend some time on the streets in Najaf and
Baghdad. Especially on a day like to day 12 August 2004, when our 11th Meu Soc is in the
mix of it in Najaf making a difference. Maybe after a full tour in country, six to 12
months you will begin to see the change. Anything that¡¯s worth changing, this is a
challenge. It doesn¡¯t happen over night and it doesn¡¯t come easy. Instead it
requires gut wrenching dedication. Something I still do not believe John Kerry will ever
understands. Don, thanks for listening. Know that the hearts and souls of every Marine,
Sailor, Soldier and Airman is in this fight; these people have been through enough! We saw
the changes in the people during the liberation from Saddam¡¯s forces. We still see it
as they gain control of their own country and are able to make choices for themselves. We
ask that you keep praying for those on the front lines making a difference and those who
making the ultimate sacrifice. God Bless. Keep up the good fight, we¡¯re right there
with you. With Great Admiration and Respect, Ben Johns Thank you for your service. I am a Korean Vet with no combat experience ,but lost
many friends from my unit. I know what you guys sacrificed. Thanks for exposing Kerry for
what he is. MANDELA IS A MAN WITH PRINCIPLE,HE IS A PERSON WHO CAN STAND AND MENTAIN HIS
SPEECH.WHEN EVER HE HAS TAKING A DECISION THERE IS NO GOING BACK. BRAVO PRESIDENT NELSON
MANDELA Great editorials on John Kerry. A must read for anyone thinking of voting for him. Don, I am only 23 years old, so I was not alive to witness all that happened during
the Vietnam War. I suppose my response may not be as valued as coming from someone who had
to witness what you witnessed, but I really need to write you and say God Bless You and
the all of the brave men who went into battle. You went in not with the intention of
coming home to brag about purple hearts that should never have been handed out, but to
protect the country that you love so dearly. I have spent the last year living in Marin
county of CA (if you have ever dealt with California politics, you will know exactly where
that is-scary place) consistently trying to defend my Republican beliefs, from uneducated,
power-hungry Democrats that quote their favorite liberal television shows. I have been
made to feel like I was not a good person simply because I was a Republican. Not anymore.
Thanks for showing me that it is really okay to be who I am and support what I want to
support: a man who does want to keep our country safe, not a man who would betray anyone
who gets in his way of hanging his hat in the White House. Thanks for all you are doing to
get your voice heard. It is a shame that news programs are more interested in ratings than
what the real people of America have to say. Best wishes to you and your family in the
future. Annie Distad LIKED YOU COMMENTS, LIKE YOUR SITE. U.S.A.F 1983 TO 1987,PROUD TO HAVE SERVED, I
WISH IT WAS SOMETHING EVERYONE HAD TO DO... I,D LIKE TO SAY THANKS TO ALL VETS!!!!! PEACE
TIME AND IN WAR... Sorry for being so long winded. Got carried away. As our dear daddy said, "I hate
a liar worse than a thief." How obliging of the Kerry's to be both. Don, keep telling us the truth!!! Thank you for your sacrifices for our freedom. One comment I have is that I am proud to be part of a family that has served it's
country honorably for generations untold and without exception. In my generation my own
family had 3 boys who volunteered for 3 of the 5 services; Army, Navy and Air Force. All
of us served a tour in Viet Nam honorably and 2 of us served at the same time within miles
of each other. Another comment I do not wish to be taken wrong is that I do not like John
Kerry, but like Kerry I served a short tour. I spent exactly 8 months at the University of
South Viet Nam before my enlistment expired. (At the time the military was not allowing
extended tours because of the blackmarket scandal I'm sure you remember that was
affectionaly nicknamed the Sgt-Major Wooldridge Blues or I'll getta kickback outa you's.)
Therefore my only options were to become a civilian or re-enlist for stateside duty. That
was a no brainer. I did not quit the fight early by choice. I came home to Denver Colorado
and while still in the uniform of America's elite Green Beret, wanted only to peacably
walk the downtown streets of my innocence to gain some perspective. I am sure all of you
remember that feeling of elation when it comes to you that you actually made it back. Some
of us were less fortunate and it is to those that I give my thanks for being with me in
spirit and staying my hand when I was set upon and spit upon by a gaggle of Fonda Flockers
led by Ted Turners future whore. Please do not edit this. If she wants to sue me for
liable for calling her a whore I will gladly countersue for her calling me a babykiller,
when in fact I saved more than one baby's life in my short time overseas. She, however,
would eventually marry Ted Turner but she wouldn't take his name because it was already
implied and much too apropo. First she turned against her country and then she turned
against her cause and married money. Then she turned again and divorced when the
possibility of a spotlight was again eminant. Enough about nothing, my comments here speak
for themselves. I would also like to comment Don that I believe we could have met a world
away and a lifetime ago. I was a medic with the 1st Mobile Strike Force Command, 5th
Special Forces, Da Nang known as the Mike Force. Ours was a reactionary Strike Force able
to deploy within the hour to assist outlying "A" teams and "B" teams
or any of the other military services in need located in I Corp our AO (area of operation)
including downed American pilots and escaped POW's. Another comment, unlike John Kerry I
do not lie about my military service or claim horrors or honors I am not entitled to.
Unlike John Kerry, I did not return home a turncoat. I did not marry a Jane F***ing Fonda
wannabe nor did I claim valor for doing my job. I did accept the Vietnamese Cross of
Gallanty awarded as a gesture by our counterparts in recognition of the time we served
together. I did accept the Army Commendation Medal with V for Valor only after it was
downgraded. I did not carry a weapon in any of the dozen or so conflicts I was a part of
except the first. I was not a conscientious objector, I simply made a rational decision
after our first deployment. It quickly became all too apparent that I could not hump the
mountainous terrain in our AO and carry all the medical supplies necessary to do my job
wtih the additional burden of armament. This is beside the fact that when we did engage,
there was simply no need for me to carry a weapon, everybody circled wagons around the
medic for purely selfish reasons I am sure. As I said, I was not a conscientious objector,
I had to volunteer 5 different times just to get the best job in the entire Viet Nam
conflict. I know you know Don, but not everyone is aware, that to become part of Special
Forces you have to be a triple volunteer. I had to volunteer for the Service of my choice
as did my brothers. I had to volunteer for Special Forces which included volunteering for
and successfully completing Airborne training. Then because of the short time left in the
military after the completion of all the training I was given, I had to go to the Pentagon
to volunteer for duty in Viet Nam. When arriving in Nam I had to volunteer for assignment
to the Mike Force which in I Corp, along with several A sites, B sites and C and C teams
was desimated by the Tet offensive of 1968. Enough about John Kerry, that bitch and me.
Vote for Waldo, Mickey Mouse or anybody but a known self serving opportunist and liar.
William Bowser... Agree with your comments regarding John Kerry. I commanded a Marine Rifle Co
(C-1-9)during VN. He let us down. No VN vet should respect him. Don you are a true patriot. You have served our country with distinction and are now
honoring us by taking on an ominous task against the power elite. John Kerry is, for all
intents and purposes, a disingenuous figure in public life. He should not be allowed to
continue to purpetrate disinformation, or worse yet, become commander-in-chief. God bless
you and yours. Keep up the fight for truth and honor. Sincerely, Richard Ceman Keep telling it like it is. Hopefully the USA will wakeup. One of your band of
brothers. I am going to retire from the Marine Corps in November of this year, with over 20
years of service to my country. My unit was activated last year and sent to Iraq in
support of the War on Terrorism. I only served 2 1/2 months actually in Iraq due to a
medical emergency, but I was there, I did go, I went on patrol's with my Marines. I went
out to their posts while they were sweating under the broiling heat to check on them. I
even stood the post a few times to give some of them a much needed break. The greatest
honor I have ever had was to serve with those guys, to serve with all of the troops. I am
very honored and proud to have given 20 years of my life to the defense of this great
nation. I applaud your efforts to get the real truth out about this political mess John
Kerry is trying to drag this country through. I stand in awe of EVERY veteran who has gone
before me, I only hope and pray I can continue to uphold the highest traditions and
expectations of all of you. I will always defend the troops and our veterans against
bold-faced liars like John Kerry. I will help spread the word to others that he cannot be
trusted with the key to our country. He should be tried for treason, not voted into our
highest office!! God Bless our troops, and God Bless America! Great site, and I support you 150%! God help us all if Kerry wins this election. But
I DO know what God says: If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves,
and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin and heal their land - 2 Chronicles 7:14 I have faith, and I
know that you do, too. Another quote is more appropos here - Worry about nothing, but pray
about everything - Phillipians 4:6. I am a Christian, a patriot, and ex-USAF. I was in the
service during 'Nam, but never made it over there...my brother did. We WILL win this
fight! go to www.swiftvets.com and see what the men who served beside John Kerry think
about him and his outright fabrication and lies about what happened in Vietnam. Mr. Bendell, ThankYou for your past and current service, please keep up the
pressure. As a former vet myself (USN) and whose oldest borhter volunteered to be a GI for
the U.S. Army during the Veetnam War we agree and and support your actions. God Bless
