"Well, it's my understanding that she just fired a few short bursts from that anti-aircraft weapon, Senator. I don't think she actually hit any of our aircraft. So, no... I wouldn't call that treason."

I am reminded of something Clinton did also. I think he was a fundraiser or something and to make it a real emotional moment he poked himself in the eye to produce a tear to make it look good.

Frauds.

A number of Kerry's close friends from decades past are among the dead whose names are etched on the memorial's polished black granite walls.

And what would that 'number' be?.... <1

It was here that Kerry brought his future wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, when he first began seeing her. They stopped to stroll along the memorial as he drove her home from a dinner party in 1994.

Great con game to work on the ketchup lady...tell his B.S. war stories to the gullible...get her all emotional then take her to see some names...(that he probably memorized earlier)...and claim he knew them or was 'in battle' with them...with them when they died...blah blah blah.....

He's a lying sack of crap ...nothing more...nothing less...

imo....

Did John Kerry go to the Veterans' Memorial in 2002 and 2003 or is this just something he does in the midst of a war in an election year?

Exerpts of the epilogue of John Kerry's book - "The New Soldier"

We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans' Day waving small flags, calling to memory those who died for the "greater glory of the United States." We will not accept the rhetoric. We will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars---in fact, we will find it hard to join anything at all and when we do, we will demand relevancy such as other organizations have recently been unable to provide. We will not take solace from the creation of monuments or the naming of parks after a select few of the thousands of dead Americans and Vietnamese. We will not uphold traditions which decorously memorialize which was base and grim.

Ignore Kerry's photo ops. Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper instead.

Good grief! The prose on this piece made me gag. "On a cool, misty morning", indeed.

I can't wait to read the snide remarks the AP will insert on their coverage of President Bush's appearance. And I took the business about "offering a quiet Memorial Day counterpoint" as a way of saying in a subtle way how unfair that President Bush had his incumbent platform to speak from so humble old Kerry is quietly doing the best he can to say and do his own noble deeds. Bah.

Then we come to this:

The Democratic presidential candidate worked with Bronson's family and the Navy to have Bronson's name added to the wall.

His name was recently inscribed on the memorial wall and will be officially enrolled during ceremonies later Monday.

So when did Kerry start "working" to get Bronson's name added to the wall? Why wasn't he "working" on it lo these many years he's been a U.S. Senator. Why did it take being a presidential candidate to accomplish this?

In case you haven't heard .. Kerry was approached by a protester who ask if Kerry was planning to apologize for spitting on these men when he returned from Vietnam.

Of course .. only FOX has reported this.
