Other than the line about what comes out of kerry's mouth being like horse manure being an insult to horse manure everywhere, an excellent letter that expresses my thoughts far better (and cleaner) than I ever could.

Great article about Kerry .... why is the truth so absent from the mainstream media? It makes one shudder for the fate of our nation, so often controlled by the self-serving. I am in awe of the size of the reply section and the content of those comments. I served one tour in Vietnam (Army,329th Heavy Boat, Danang), no combat - but not my idea of fun, either. We were armed, of course - and therefore could have committed terror - but I never saw any or heard even a whisper of any ... Bless you, Don, for trying to expose the truth about this poseur who has succeeded through priviledge his whole life.

Very good comments. I'm a retired combat veteran. 20 years in Airborne and Airborne Ranger assignments. I am amazed out how the "war protester" now brings up his war record when it is politically convenant. U.S. troops have always served with great valor. Not all are perfect, this should not detract from the sacrifices made by the many. Our troops need a President, like Bush, that has a true commitment to them. President Bush is a true "Patriot" and a defender of democracy. I am proud of my military service and will always support our troops in war or peace.

Right on Don! I did a few tours myself, and like most GIs I know from a couple of wars, turned down a purple heart because it was a band aid wound. We all know medals too often were given out by favour. No matter what I think of any of the conflicts our country engage in, I would never degrade those who go to the fight. Let's face it, all wars are created by professional politicians..and the GI has never lost one. The politicians have.

Thank you sir, for your service to our country. All my VN Vet friends don't speak about the War like HK. I know some real heros (multiple decorations won during multiple tours) and they don't beat their chests about their heroism like HK. I'm thinking he's full of Horse Manure. God Help us if he gets elected. Can you imagine him and Hillary?! They're not Democrats but Socialist and the only difference between a Socialist and a Communist is that the Commie carries a gun! Go to his web site at www.johnkerry.com and let him know what you think of his bid for CINC. I did. 73.

Stay on kerry"s arse. I know him from way back.I was a police proescuter in Mass when he was the "acting" D.A. in Middlesex County (put there by Teddy boy.) I do not remember him ever being before the bar there. Where did he get all those pictures of him in Vietnam? He surley must have brought his own photographer with him to get those shots while only serving 4 months there.

GREAT LETTER! As a retired disabled vet serving in the Mekong Delta of South Vietnam (1969) the Amaerican public needs to know the facts and not the lies John Kerry is passing on to the American public in his campaign."Hanoi John" is a disgrace to this great country of ours and I want to thank you for writing that letter. God Bless you and all veterans who have answered the call of our nation.

I have long felt the John Kerry is just another example of rich kid who received some pretty cheap decorations(VERY remmenicent of the original JFK). I, for one, am NOT at all impressed with his "chest full of medals." As a grunt with the 5th Marines, I knew too many who fought harder, more frequently and under far more difficult circumstances who returned home with only the Combat Action Ribbon to show for it. As for Kerry's Silver Star, it clearly does NOT meet the established criteria for the Nation's THIRD HIGHEST award for VALOR. His Purple Hearts do not deserve mention and Kerry, himself, knows it. That's why he's tried to duck any questions about them. No, I won't be voting for him. I have nothing but contempt for the man.

Enjoyed your comments re: Kerry. My thoughts are: I consider immediately Kerry is totally disloyal to his group- ref their village problems in RVN. Kerry dispelled his guilt by copping out (Nationwide) on HIS Troops. His personal guilt came right out without hesitation. Therefore I consider his trustworthyness -NIL-.

Don, First I want to thank you for serving our country in Vietnam. Too many people fault the warriors who answer the call to duty regardless of the reason. Second, thank you for calling Kerry for what he is. We know the liberal agenda is not interested in the truth and that is a shame. But the liberals who say that defending our country with might is not the way to protect her from harm will also be cowering behind some conservatives son or daughter when the bullets start to fly.

Thanks for standing up for the defenders of our country and giving voice to the thoughts of the many/(all of us) that have served during times of war and the peace that follows. For those few that have done atrocities while at war perhaps in retaliation perhaps in fear or that poor excuse the end justifies the means... may there be peace.

Welcome home bro. 1st/17th AIRCAV 75-76. My brother served with the 5th,19th and 20th groups. If i hear his name kerry i see fonda pulling the cord on artie aimed at our troops. I see President Bush as a man making up for what he did not get to do. Better late than never. I like you know the full impact of a .50 cal. There was no need for this putz to leave his boat putting his crew at risk for glory. A wound from a .50 leaves the enemy easy to track. oh yeah thanks AIRBORNE

MR. Bendell, Thank you for your informative words. Hopefully people who believe in Sen. Kerry and the fallacies that spout out of his mouth will read your articles, and become more intelligent to what actually happend over thirty years ago in that small jungle nation in south east asia. My Grandfather served three tours as a Green Beret in Vietnam and is still in pain thirty-five years after being wounded, and in the twenty-three years that I have known him I have never heard him utter one word against the war in Vietnam or any other soldier he served with. If Sen. Kerry had any honor what so ever he would praise his fellow vet's rather than going for the liberal vote and discracing them or the memory of the true hero's, the one's that never came home. My hats off to all vet's of any war. Finally don't worry about the generation X'ers, we support Bush!

Sir, As we move back into Iraq, I wanted to thank you and all Veterans of all the services and the guard. It matters not if you are or were active duty, reserve, or were in the guard, but you have or are serving and that is what counts. Were there problems in Vietnam, yes, but Kerry, instead of being part of the solution, was part of the problem. That ugly version of Jay Leno makes me sick! Here is a guy who threw his medals into a fire to protest the Vietnam War. Then he hides behind them and says, look at me, I am a war hero. NO WAY! He is such a hypocrite! Those medals hang in a place of honor in his office. He is all about the show and cares nothing for America as a whole, he is a selfish SOB and has brought discredit upon himself and God forbid he becomes president, because I will just stay in Iraq, at least here you can tell the difference between friend and foe! Warmest Regards!

Thanks for having the guts to tell it like it is and thank you for serving in Vietnam! I have been a U.S. Marine for 15 years now and if Kerry gets elected in 2004, I am getting out! I love being a Marine, I love the USA, and I would like to retire from the Corps, but there is no way I serving under that clown! It was bad enough under Clinton! Kerry will make Clinton look like a conservative! Thank God for President Bush, at least he respects the men and women of the Armed Forces of the USA and he his brought dignity and respect back to the White House. I hope he is able to come back for a second tour! Semper Fi!

Sir...that is one outstanding summary! My hats off to you the vets who served in Vietnam. I have had numerous friends during my service in the USAF who did serve in Vietnam. They were & still are honorable men. When I queried one of my co-workers (he was a USN small boat driver on the rivers in Vietnam for 22 mos) about Kerry's exploits in his 4 month boating expdeition. My co-worker replied Kerry did all the wrong things in his actions there. In fact, my friend stated he had to be a f%^&ing idiot for doing some of things he did over there. It is nice to hear 2 people really uncover the facts about Hanoi Kerry. Still serving our country proudly in the USAF!

Dear Don, Thank you for your continuing bravery and service through your words and this website. If the likes of Kerry and the Judges he would appoint come to control this land then all of the freedoms handed down from the Founding Fathers will be gone. Mr. McCain seems to be willing to give the power of deciding what speech is acceptable and what is not to the likes of lying leftists like Kerry who voted in favor of partial birth abortion. They keep the babies heads buried in the mother's womb so that no one hears the screams of the infant while it is being murdered. And they have the NERVE to talk about baby killers! They pay the Mengele's of American medicine with our tax money! What will they do to us when they have absolute power. If we don't fight them now they will indocrinate our children to be like them and bring down the wrath of God on America. Now when I pray at night I know that I am not alone, thank you. Let us ask the Father for strength, fortitude and sound judgement. God Bless You All and Thank You for the Love you have shown at terrible cost to yourselves! We do not deserve you and we risk the hell of war if we forget the price you paid on our behalf. Many are called, few are chosen. Rich Torrone Teaneck NJ

As a former soldier who was drafted during Vietnam, served honorably for more than a quarter century, and commanded an Aviation Task Force in the Balkans, I am compelled to say something about Duty, Honor, Country and those who would hide behind 'patriotic' rhetoric to dismiss their own conduct and failures. Mr. Kerry, you should be ashamed of yourself. Like most politicians, whether they're wearing a military uniform or 3-piece suit in Congress, you'll tell people whatever is politically expedient to further your agenda. You and people like you know nothing about the challenge of a better man: "Ask not what your country can do for you... ." As a former enlisted soldier who came home, after being sent to fight in a distant land by people like you, I was spat upon for the 'privilege' and labeled a baby killer. I can't speak for you, sir, but neither I nor anyone I served with ever killed a baby or any other noncombatant. If I had witnessed or had knowledge of such atrocities it was my duty and moral obligation to put a stop to it or, at the very least, report it. I have taken a stand against evil in my life, even when that stand was unpopular and threatened to end my career... because it was the right thing to do. But I doubt you'd know what I'm talking about. Like my father before me, who fought in the Battle of the Bulge and helped libertate the Nazi concentration camps at Mouthausen, I too have a chest full of medals but that does not give me the right to say whatever I wish in the shameless pursuit of personal glory or political self-interest. Mr. Kerry, if there is any justice you will be defeated at the polls in November, assuming you are the Democratic party's candidate of choice. If that should be the case, it's further proof of their willingness to further lower the bar of human decency to get back into the White House. And if that happens, I hope your own self-serving words set impeachment proceedigs into motion... on charges of Conduct Unbecoming an Officer, Dereliction of Duty, and, last but not least, Withholding or Covering Up Information About War Crimes. Mr. Kerry, you and Mr. Kennedy may be fit to represent the people of Massachusetts, but the rest of us hold our leaders to a higher standard. The nation's elected office, and the position of Commander-in-Chief, deserves better than anything another liberal senator from Massachusetts has to offer. God bless America.

I was in the USAF from 1963 through 1967 most of that time overseas. I, like many others during that time were looked on with disgust and disdain when I returned home and wore my uniform (with pride). I truly believe that people like John Kerry and Jane Fonda are very similar to the current left wing Hollywood types that are so set against our President. We have in this country a lot of people who have forgot how to think for themselves and let their so-called "Hero's" think for them. They have forgotten how to size up a person or a situation that requires action on their parts, but instead let the Hollywood actors tell them what to do and say.

Bravo Mr. Bendell! Like many of the other guests, I, too, am too young to have served in Vietnam. I did serve proudly, though, for 20 years in the Air Force from 1980-2000. During that time, I had the privilege and pleasure of knowing and serving with MANY who DID see service in Vietnam. They were all honorable men who deserve our total respect, admiration, and support. I join the call for full disclosure of Mr. Kerry's military records.

Kerry was upset when his hero Tom Brady sat in the President's booth with his wife Laura during the state of the union address. Unlike Brady, Kerry goes 3 and out in 4 months time. I want to see his record opened up like "W's" was. Let us all see why he got the 3 band-aid PH's and who put him in for them. The liberal media will never ask to see his records. It's a shame that this clown is able to control the media the way he does. Have you noticed this trouble in Haiti.

WARNING! Make sure your antivirus definitions are up to date before signing this honorable guestbook. Apparently some "peace loving" Kerry supporters have initiated violence against some signers by sending us a virus(intercepted and killed by my AV software) in an e-mail with the subject of "fake" and text of "you are a bad writer". This excellently endowed guestbook was my only posting recently. I just spent over an hour(30 min the first time I signed)reading the stirring words of the good people signing it. I notice their names, e-mail addresses and hometowns are proudly displayed, while almost all of those critical of Mr. Bendell and/or President Bush demonstrate viciousness, profanity, and cowardice, because they do so under obviously false ID. They can't answer the arguments so they seek to abridge the free speech of those with whom they disagree. Typical of socialists and socialism, the only system in the history of man that had to build walls, not to keep invaders out, but to keep its' own people in. Thank you also good signers for your service to the USA and the people of the world. I ask you all to print or burn your recollections of your service, and those of your fathers, grandfathers and uncles onto disk. It is important to the preservation of accurate history especially from those who will stop at nothing to destroy it.

Dear Mr. Don Bendell and family, First of all, thank you so much for serving in Vietnam to defend my people against the blood-thirty communist rapists and murderers. Second, thank you again for fighting against their #1 man on Capitol Hill: Double-Face Kerry, who is an absolute disgrace and traitor to everything American. Two years ago, I was part of a delegation of around 300 people from 28 states that came to Boston to raise hell for Kerry because of his blockage of the Vietnam Religious Freedom Bill which was overwhelming passed by the House of Representatives by a vote of 411 to 1. Yet, Double-Face Kerry had the nerves to block it from entering the Senate floor and let it die out. I ask every decent freedom-loving American, "Is this the type of person you would want to be your next President?" Heck, I wouldn't even allow him to hold the small title of councilman of my district. I sugguest all patriotic Americans to show up at any place that Kerry stops at in his political campaigning and hold up big signs that read "Kerry, slave driver", "Kerry: 2 faces with 0 conscious", "Hanoi Kerry" and the like. We have to beat his political dreams to the ground! Good luck and GOD bless! Your loving brother in Christ, Luong Do Luong Doan Do MBA Class of 2005 Babson College ldo1@babson.edu

Sir, your voice of truth is a refreshing change that the liberal media refuse to bring forth. As an American, I thank you, all veterans, and active duty personel that serve or have served our country. As a veteran, I know the sacrifice that military service personel make both in war and in peacetime service. John Kerry in my opinion became a traitor like Jane Fonda and others. He disgraced our country, and has dishonored all that have ever served in uniform. His protest, like his voting record in Congress show who and what he truely is.

I volunteered for Nam in the Army. I celebrated my 19th birthday 1 month getting there. I was not a combatant, but I repaired radar, traveling to fire bases from Long Bin. Non the less, I was there to serve my country and hopefully ensure the maximum number of GI's were safer because the equipment worked. I was 19 when I returned home. I couldn't understand the dismal home coming that felt almost like a forced shame when I walked out of the San Francisco airport in my uniform. It was like entering a shadow, tepid with a quiet loathe. I was rather naive about the whole anti-vietnam cadre. My eyes were opened when I was blasted by a couple of older Viet Nam vets in college that spoke disparagingly about the Viet Nam war. I am ashamed that I walked with them for a short time before coming to my senses. Even after I broke with those fellows, I still felt some shame until I methodically thought through the situation. I did go there for the right reason, and my choice was right. We were fighting a force of tyranny. I could see it in the eyes of the Vietnamese people and the courageous Hmong and Loas troops fighting from the fire bases I served. People throughout the years laughed at me when I told them we were there to not only help our Asian friend, but to protect our home. Some of my inlaws are among the loudest scoffers. I don't take any guff from them anymore. One of my greatest surprises was seeing the picture of Kerry so close to Jane Fonda. I really thought it was a spoof until I searched the web for a couple of hours, time and again confirming its authenticity. I was incredulous, to say the least, to read the lies and betrayal Kerry planted and fertilized. The same lies that resonated through much of the country and especially San Francisco during that era. I understand why I came home to an atmosphere of disillusionment and an UNWARRANTED sense of shame. We had a full fledged TRAITOR working full time to create a hate for the exceedingly vast majority of us who did serve with our whole heart, doing what was right and honorable. I don't have any medals to speak of. I know I faithfully fixed radar and there is a chance some of our guys and gals returned safely because mortar origins were correctly identified and eliminated (Q10 and Q4 radar) and some enemy troop movements were identified and successfully addressed (pps10 and tps25 radar). Kerry, don't bother coming to my home for supper unless you are ready to eat crow, confess your lies and change your ways. I hope you never eat a meal in the home where a real Commander in Chief should be eating. Sami

Don: I could never thank you enough for your service in Vietnam. You should be extremely proud of your service to this great nation! As many Vietnam Veteran officers have stated, we would have won that war had it not been for our lack of resolve here at home, exacerbated by the filthy anti-war protesters. I retired from the U.S. Navy in 1995 as an ATC(AW)(E-7); I repaired the avionics systems on F-14s and F/A-18s aboard three different aircraft carriers: JFK, Connie and Carl Vinson. Thank you for exposing John Kerry for what he is: a traitor to this great nation. It sickens me that he is claiming to be a hero in light of his short tour of duty, dubious exit from Nam, and especially his anti-war activities, while thousands of his fellow soldiers died or came home with limbs missing. What a man did 30 years ago IS important if it exposes his character and ability to lead the most powerful nation on earth. Fellow Vets: we must get the word out about this disgusting human being; write letters to the editor of your local paper, attend rallies, display Bush/Cheney bumper stickers, send e-mails of Kerry's anti-defense voting record to your friends and encourage them to pass them on, whatever you have to do. We MUST NOT allow Kerry to be Commander in Chief of our fine military men and women who REVERE President Bush. We cannot do that to them after they have fought so bravely in the War on Terror!

Job well done. I hope that articles like this surface in all forms of media. It is time the people that claim to be the "leaders" of our country are stopped from destroying everything that those who wear the uniform fight to protect. I have no time for self-serving individuals who are motivated by their own personal gain. It is the self-sacrificing people who have fought in all branches of the service to their country who do it and ask nothing in return. Thanks to them, we have the freedom to write and read the articles, like yours, that speak the truth and point out the differences between what really happened and the way the self-serving individuals remember it. Freedom of speech it is...truth it is not. Truth of the matter is, too many people accept what people of power say simply because of the title and position they hold.

People who fight for our country are heros, not to be spit upon by the likes of cowards like Kerry. He's a coward because he follows the views of others who just don't get it because they've never given their time. He must be guilty of something if he can't look at his service with pride.

Dear MR. Bendell. When I was 19 I joined the Oregon Army National Guard. I did so not because I feared going to war but out of a sence of dutie to my country. I was well trained served my time and was honorably discharged. Mr. Kerrys remarks about the Guard are more than insulting. Those remarks make fun of the first Army this country ever had. I was a minute man like my father's before me and I am proud.

Thank you for taking the time and the risks of exposing kerry for what he really is and for pointing out the loopholes in his four month hero tour in Vietnam.

Don, Great article. I too served in Nam,'67-'68 on riverboats as part of the mobile riverine force down in the delta. To me, John Kerry is a traitorious(sp)coward. There were many brave men who were wounded in action, but did not choose or ask to be sent home. I guess that going home like a coward was not enough for him, he also had to disgrace all the fine men who were doing their duty,to try to bring them down to his level. I don't have first hand knowledge of this, but I read on a veterans board that the papers that nominated Kerry for his Silver Star were signed by a member of his crew, with other crew members as witnesses. I don't believe that Kerry served with honor,nor do I believe that he should be allowed to lead the brave men and women that are now serving in our Armed Forces as their Commander-In-Chief. Thanks to all the brave men and women who served in Viet Nam and all the other vets who served their country with honor.

One way to look at Kerry's accusations: if such atrocities and war crimes were so common, why was My Lai such a big deal?? Also, with all the press reporting from Vietnam, why didn't they ever report such things? To betray your fellow soldiers the way Kerry did is inexcusable.

I served as Green Beret in I Corp with the Mobile Strike Force, and at a Special A Team A-109 Thoung Duc. The men that were tortured in North Vietnam (Prisoners) for an additional 2-1/2 years after Kerry statements which he said he did not see but heard of them was an out right lie, period. He served only 4 months and had no life threatening wounds but scratches, probably mosquitos bites. He should be bared from the Vietnam Wall of Honorees that gave their ultimate, if he does get elected he will proably have Hanoi Jane Fonda as his Secretary of the Army since they worked together so well in having our men and women killed and tortured for their own personal and political gain After 19 years what has Kerry done for this country but vote to just about eliminate our U.S. military defenses, i guess Hanoi Fonda would then be our military seating behind a North Vietnemese Machine Gun, however aimed at our own citizens. If America doesnt wake up some morning when they do it will be to late it wont be the United States of America any longer, God Bless every POW that made it back and God Bless over 58,000 fighting men and women that gave their ultimate for our freedon their lives not KERRY & "HANOI JANE FONDA".

I served in the USAFSS during the height of the cold war. No hot war at that time but we were there, willing and able. My heart goes out to all our Viet Nam Vets.

Don, Thank you for stating your opinion. I am veteran that served for 10 years and never saw combat as you have or as John Kerry has. I do share in your beliefs that Kerry appears to be an opportunist that he has used his connections all his life and will use any issue to serve his purposes as you have pointed out. I cannot trust a man that will take a poll before making a decision as our past President Clinton did. Because of this way of being our Chief Executive I feel that all the economic problems and 9-11 are due to that. Thank God! George Bush is our President now. Most of all he is a man of principle and will make executive decisions on what he feels will be best for citizens of the United States. The decisions he has made are made with the best interest of Citizens of our great county and I may not always agree with them, but they are decisions made. For me that is more important to have someone to do that then someone who will take a poll first. Polls are for legislatures to take not the Chief Executive. To all those who disagree with you, God bless them that are their right. This right was and is being protected by you and those who served and now serving in all branches of the services including the National Guard, Reserves, and the regulars in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. The big question I have for anybody that says George W. Bush was AWOL or a deserter from the National Guard. “Where is your proof that he was Absent Without Leave or a Deserter, like an disinplinary action such as an Article 15”? AWOL means what it says Absent Without Leave I see no proof that he was Absent Without Leave.

I also spent some time in Viet-Nam, one tour in 1965 with the Marines and two more tours with the SeaBees in 67 and 68. Never once did I see anything like john kerry described,if I had the chance I would call him a liar to his face and challennge him to defend himself,which I doubt he would do, he would probably hide behind hanoi jane,another traitorous witch who should be tried for treason, I spent a few month living in a compound down south of Nha Trang in 67, it was the home of SF A-502, Fifth Special Forces, they did more to help the local people than kerry ever thought of. I personally think kerry is nothing but a coward and should do us all a favor and eliminate himself from the gene pool. Woody Sullivan US Navy Retired

Most people who served in Vietnam were brave soldiers. But there were some bad apples and they had to be dealt with. Kerry didnt see any war crimes, he reported what he had heard. And he should have because those few bad apples needed to be dealt with. And he didnt bring up Bush's military record, other democrats did. Edit this out if you like, wont bother me, just thought you'd like to be sure of your facts.

To everyone who has served in the military to protect my family, you are a hero in my book. I am not naïve enough to believe that there weren’t “bad apples” in Vietnam, there are in all walks of life. I believe in America, I believe in God and I believe that there is no greater place on earth than the United States. I hope Mr. Kerry understands that a whole lot of people paid the ultimate price so he could get his photo ops with Jane Fonda and spread vicious lies about “all” service personal. Somehow, I don’t think he understands that it is the very veterans and current military personnel who afford him this freedom. I know he served 4 months in Vietnam, I thank him for that service, and I thank him for the freedoms he afforded me. Mr. Kerry needs to be thankful to all of those that have put their country first to protect our freedom over the past 228 years. I don’t question his patriotism; I question his morality and ethics. Thank you veterans for the freedom I enjoy.

I believe John Kerry is a disgrace to his uniform and his country. It is incomprehensible to me what his motives for lying and fabrication and assisting our enemies have been. I have one word for John Kerry. He is a "Dirtbag". He is certainly not one of a "Band of Brothers."

Hello Don.Thanks for sharing your experience and observations. I am a fellow Vet, and salute your service and devotion to all that is America. Many of us share your beliefs vis-a-vis a certain Presidential candidate's rather free use of "artistic license" to frame his experiences in 'Nam.Bravo, and carry holding the high ground.

Don, I'm truly thrilled to meet a man who has blood in his veins! I am far too tired of imitators who expend their vitrolic behavior in the political arena. I was a National Guardsman in the United States Army in Montana in 1961. In 1962-3 we were on line to be sent to Cuba. As you know, that never happened for us, but the Cuban refuges that went were all slaughtered. I'm proud to have been a Guardsman!

I was much too young to serve in Vietnam but my daughters godfather is currently serving in Iraq. What some people don't seem to remember is that hundreds of people died to protect America and they are still there defending this country today. Those young men and women that served in Vietnam defended freedom and help shape our military today. Those unspoken heros were fathers, brothers, and friends who gave themselves to protect this country.

Way to go, soldier! I too served in Nam in 68 - 69 near Cu Chi and NEVER saw or heard anything like this except from the Saigon cowboys or the wantabees. I retired as a CW4 and am proud of the service and the friends we made in our providence. We built playgrounds, helped in the orphanage, passed out rice to the needy, and loved the children. Again, way to go!

I did 20 years in The Marine Corps which included 3 months at Khesanh Vietnam. It was only 3 months, I only left there because it was a medivac that took me out. I watch the news every night and wonder why the keep putting the screws to Bush and his AOL thing, but NEVER seem to zero in on Kerry and his lies. It's amazing!!! How can this keep going on before the public gets the facts???

My e-mail name should say it all, but I just want to add that I lost my Dad, several cousins, and friends to Agent Orange from Viet Nam. Although my heart aches for those losses, the pride in their service far outweighs the pain! As a senior in high school in l967 I asked my Dad why he had to go to Nam, and he simply said it was to keep "them" from coming over here where his loved ones are. Well, looks like a few got past him, namely Kerry, Fonda, etc. I have the highest regard for you, your stand on this issue, and for our President for the courage to speak out! God will richly bless you for it!.Thanks,...armybrat

I am far too young to have been in Viet Nam, but I did serve this great nation for 7 yrs. I was active duty in the Air Force during Desert Shield/Storm!! I also do not appreciate ANY servace man or woman being crucified for our service to this nation. Many lies have been told about us and the "thanks" just seems often to be non-existent. In fact many so called benefits just are not available when those of us who have given to this nation call upon them. I have not been able to find decent full time work since leaving the service--with YEARS of solid experience and work ethics that BEAT the work ethics of many civialians by a LONG SHOT!! People forget or fail to realize that we remain a free nation ONLY due to the willingness of men and women to sacrifice even to the point of life to ensure we remain that way. We also sacrifice our lives to ensure freedoms for other peoples around the world--always have, always will!! We have NEVER gone to another land with a goal of gaining OIL or any such thing as an outcome!! We go to serve and protect people, to oust dictators, terrorist and any who endanger lives of PEOPLE!! The cost of freedom--here or abroad--is BLOOD!! It has always been so and will continue to be. You cannot expect to go to war and NOT suffer loss of life!! Not possible!! But we do not sacrifice lives for the reasons we have been accused of. I am 100% behind President Bush and support him 100% for re-election. I do not buy into any of the bull the democratic nominees are dishing out!! I will NEVER support anyone who slings bull about the Commander-in-Chief of this nation--even if you do NOT like him!! Funny how so many supported President Clinton and he was FAR from the MORAL man of honor that President Bush is!! Bill Clinton WAS a draft dodger, a sneak, a crook and morally bankrupt but the same people who bash President Bush LOVED him!! In my opinion, the thinking and rationale of many people in this nation is twisted and corrupt. Oh the screaming and weeping and wailing that would go on if we were to actually return to the founding beliefs of this nation!! We have fallen sooo far!! Bonnie Díaz

Thank you for serving our country & for your boldness in speaking & sharing the truth. I believe in George Bush's leadership & I believe America's ability to stand strong is in our military & morale leadership. Clinton was a disgrace and Kerry would be no better. I pray the people of this country will do more then listen to the democratic media support before they cast their votes. Personally, I'm volunteering for the Bush Campaign because I believe in actions not just words. Kerry has not only dishonored the military personnel with his is self-serving efforts but he dishonored the men & women that died September 11th in that terrorist attack on American soil. His loyalty is not to our country & that should bring fear at the thought of him leading us.

Thank you! I am a Vietnam Vet (Feb 67 - Apr 68) served with 117th Assault Helicopter Co. and I am curious why the media hasn't questioned Kerry's Vietnam record like they questioned the President's NG service. I hope that somebody from CTF-115 shows up with some facts challenging Kerry's Vietnam record. I never heard of anybody with any outfit collecting that much hardware so fast (less than 4 Months). Three Purple Hearts, but no limp. All injuries were so minor that no time was lost from duty. Amazing luck! Then he used the three purple hearts to request a trip home eight months before the end of his tour. Fishy! I would be interested to see the reports on how he earned his Bronze and Silver Star and his 3 purple hearts all in less than 4 months.

Thank you for the opinion concerning Kerry. When I heard what he had done before Congress and this nation, two things came to my mind. 1. That he is as much a traitor as was Tokyo Rose and Mata Hari. 2. Why hasn't someone taken him out behind the barn and given him a lesson then sent him to be with his buddies in Viet Nam. (I doubt that they wont him either. You need to trust your friends. Any way, keep up the good work. God bless You

Semper Fi. As a Former Marine who served 9 years on active duty, including most of a year in Vietnam, I agree with you completely on Sen. Kerry. Sen. Kerry is right up there with Hanoi Jane who should have been tried for treason. Most of the carnage Sen. Kerry speaks about was more than likely caused by the NVA regulars and the VC. Folks in our country do not seem to understand that most of the people there do not respect life and liberty as we do. With luck we will not have Sen. Kerry running our country, because if we do our defense will certainly suffer. Good Luck and thanks for the article. Gene Battelle

Sir Thank you for the article on Kerry. It was very informative. I hope your wife is recovering nicely. Unfortunately men and women like yourself are far to few. I'm refering not just to your military service, but also to the fact that you have the nerve to speak out about what is on your mind. I have been married to my wife for 22 years. In that time we have lost our daughter to a medical condition after a number of years in the nursing home. Because we insisted that she be cared for in a humane manner and not just as a source of income for the corporation, we were subjected to court proceeding where we were threatened with not having access to our daughter and losing custody of our grandson. My wife is afraid to speak out against authority now, fearing that we will be prosecuted for our opinions. This IS the country that you and I both served. Jimmie Root SSG, USA (RET)

Thank you. I was the luckiest niece in the world when my uncle came back from Korea and then two of them came back from Vietnam. Not many can say that. The look in their eyes often told me not to ask and just hug. To look at Kerry now and attempt to put hisself in the same category as true brave soliders and real heros just makes my skin crawl. I have friends in the service now and back through Desert Storm. The fact that they are all ok is enough to make my heart proud. However, just as they know I do to that many will not return but they proudly stood to defend my very way of life. The fact that Kerry even has the opportunity to stand and make his inane remarks is proof enough that our military is standing tall so that he can open his mouth. I wish with all my heart that there was some way possible to have your letter read loud and proud so that others who suspect or even can't decide who to vote for can see Kerry's true colors. Bush is everything that everyone should be. Not afraid to stand and make a strong statement. Maybe just maybe if a few people who think that we should never step in and give aid or put down rulers who wanted to have more than thier fair share, where suddenly faced with having to live under conditions beyond their belief or watched as loved ones died they might just wake up and understand what our military is here for. How sad most of them never open their eyes past their own wallet.

John "Quissling" Kerry was still in the Naval Reserves while actively aiding and abetting the enemy. He should have been tried for treason and spent the rest of his life in Leavenworth. Unfortunately, the Dept of the Navy lacked the "Kahones" to prosecute this war criminal or our beloved nation wouldn't be subjected to his anti-American speech today.GOD BLESS THE USA !!!!!!!!!

A friend sent me to a web site about your comments on Kerry, and it, in turn, had a link that brought me here. Although I was too young to personally remember much about Vietnam and my dad had already retired from the Air Force and was therefore not involved, I DO have a cousin who served. Therefore, I thank you for your comments and can guarantee that, although our governor endorses Kerry, I won't be voting for him. Since the Maine primaries don't seem to be very well publicized, however, I'm unsure as to whether or not I may have already missed my chance to vote against him in that race. I can, however, say that I won't vote for Kerry if he happens to be the one who goes up against "Shrub". Much as I can't stand most of W's comments, policies and behaviors, I think four more years of being ruled over by an idiot is better than being ruled over by someone so determined to undermine a group of people who gave so much for this country. I just wish all of America would get off the high horse we got on in the 70's and just accept that our Vietnam Servicemen (and women) had as little choice about serving as the ones who are currently in Iraq. When America goes to war, those in the Armed Forces are honor bound to risk life and limb for us idiots back here on the home soil. Bless you for serving - and best wishes for your wife's recovery from her surgery!

Don, Thank you for the pleasure I received from reading your editorial about Mr. Kerry. I am also glad to see your guest book is filling up with other vets who for so long may have had second thoughts about even mentioning their service in Nam. My visit there in 1969 was cut short but I still have a souvenir in the back of my head to remind me. For many years I was very angry with my beloved country for failing to win a war with which I now feel we never should have been involved. Politicians got us involved, politicicans wouldn't let us win, and politicians made fools of us all. What fools shall we become should Mr. Kerry become Commander-In-Chief?

I am in the National Guard now and I am currently deployed with Operation Noble Eagle. It greatly saddens me that Kerry portrays the military in such light. There is nothing glorious about war, but to vomit such "horse manure" about our (America's) vets is so completly unpatriotic, he should be shown the way to our border and asked not to return. Thanks for the enlightenment about Kerry that the media has overlooked.

Our country is in crisis right now, and we need more like you who are willing to speak up and stand against the "blame America first" crowd and against those who would take away the very freedoms and institutions this country was founded upon, and which you and I and thousands of others were (and still are) willing to defend.

Dear Sir: I salute you, and thank you for your service and for standing up for the truth. We live in times when so many tell their version of the truth to make themself look good. Kemp is an opportunistic, true in fashion of the very worst type politician. Hopefully as we draw near to the elections this fall Kerry's loser personality will come to the forfront and he will be defeated. When one reviews his history of service in the Senate it is only himself that he truely serves. With well wishes to you and yours!! May God bless and keep you and yours! In brotherhood, Stephen

Don, Thank you for your service to this country and those in Vietnam. We as a country owe you and your children serving for our freedoms our deepest thanks. Those who servce in the Military are the real hero's we as Americans have to respect. America brings freedom and democracy to other countries through your sacrifices. Mr Kerry obviously hasn't done anything since Vietnam if that is the only issue on his Lifes Resume worth Talking about. Since when do we in this country "Rest on our Laurels" as he has done. That's more of a dictatorial trait, be successful once and take over. Morality is what makes a Man or a Woman!!! I would really like to see some reporters ask him about why he never reported those incidents in Vietnam, Hopefully someone will have the chance. But I sincerely doubt anyone in the national media will take that up. Thanks again and God Bless you and your family...

Nice work on that editorial you wrote about Kerry. I served twenty years in the US Navy (retired) and I would hang my head in shame if I were still in just thinking that this dolt named Kerry could possibly become my commander-in-chief. Be it known that when Clinton was president, he was often shunned as ranks were made to fall in upon any of his "visits." Just like Clinton, I hope our military would treat him with the same disrespect that they did with Clinton. Great site, I will have to read the poetry section later.

Thank you... I am a Vietnam Vet, USN, 22nd Destroyer Squadron, Northern Search and Rescue, 1967/68. The liberals have had contempt for us (Vets) for years, and worshiped draft dodgers like Clinton, until now of course. They see that President Bush is a strong Commander in Chief, and because of that, has gained the utmost of respect from real Americans. The only so called war hero that they could dig up, just happens to be one of the most treasonous person since Benedict Arnold. Kerry doesn’t even deserve to be a U.S. Citizen, let alone a U.S. Senator and Presidential candidate. But what can you expect from a party that has absolutely no agenda except for hate and deception?

Viet Nam, U.S. Naval Security Group 1969-1970. I can think of another military man who served this nation heroically, was wounded in combat, and then returned to betray those fellow soldiers who had served with him before. After he returned from combat, he devoted his best efforts to this nation's enemies and to demoralizing and degrading those soldiers still fighting for our freedom. His name was Benedict Arnold. John Kerry knows this name well -- he likes to brand others with it.

Great letter. I've just copied it and pasted it into an email that I've sent to all my friends and family (along with a link to your site). Every veteran should read this, and so should every American of voting age. I'm ex-Navy myself, and consider Mr. Kerry's actions/statements regarding other servicemen/women in Vietnam utterly contemptable. It's good to hear someone voicing the truth about his service, and his misdeeds afterwards.

Mr. Bendell: I'm 18 years old, so I obviously don't share most of the other posters' experience with Vietnam. Nonetheless my father missed the draft by one number and I just received my own Selective Service card on Monday. I appreciate your editorial, I believe that you are absolutely right. Kerry may have served his country, but his statements against Bush and the National Guard are despicable and political. His voting record shows that he has no intention of maintaining strong intelligence agencies or a well-equipped military. In short, his opposition to funding for the CIA and vital weapons systems shows that his ideology is misguided and will undermine national security. Dubya '04.

John Kerry is absolutely the most contradictory, incompetent, and comprimising Presidential candidate America has ever seen. I can not even fathom how he is viewed as electable. Also, my grandfather turned down a WWII Medal of Honor because during war, the government hands them out like candy. That's why I despise guys like the guy from Chicago who was given a medal after falling through a roof in Iraq saying "I didn't deserve it." Then, why did you accept it? It's one thing to say, but something entirely foreign to many to do.

Speaking of crack, I guess that's why George W. Bush cannot admit that he never used cocaine. I just hope President Kerry does NOT grant a pardon to Bush or anyone else in his adminstration after Bush is gone, so that Bush and his criminal gang will be punished.

Ifin' all y'all cain't vote for me in November, that's OK because I got me a posse that can use terror to disrupt the electoral process like we done did in Fla-duh with Jeb in 2000, and we can use fraud on an even wider scale than my fellow Texan LBJ did back in 1948 to steal the election from Coke Stevenson for the Senate.
