Yes there's something odd, even the Marxists know when the Tet offensive was:
"On the night of 31st January 1968, 70,000 North Vietnamese soldiers launched the Tet offensive..." http://www.marxist.com/1968/vietnam.html
You got it! No way this could be a typo. Unless he got his VietNam service dates wrong. I am late getting back to you as went out for a run.

If it's a fraud, I will not give them the Web hit.
Send one person in as a recon, and report back to us. I won't pick up any bugs looking for them.
Thanks for the ping!
Why 6 to 7 months (or half a tour)?
Thanks for the ping.
Maybe he pulled a Querry and got three Purple Hearts (one being for rice up his butt).

There is virtually no content at this site other than the photo copy of a "Letter from Don Lester" that includes the 'Tet Offensive' reference above. The title of that letter is "RE: STOPPING JOHN KERRY FROM BECOMING OUR NEXT COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF". The letter calls Kerry a 'turncoat', sites his antiwar actions, outlines his antiwar Senate voting record, etc.
The contact email for the site is: info@veteransforvictory.com
On the "Links" page, it gives links to wintersoldier.com and Vietnam Vets for the Truth (kerrylied.com)
The donations page says:
Paid for by Veterans for Victory PAC. Corporate Donations prohibited. Gifts are not tax deducatable. Federal law requires us to report the name and occupation of all contributors whos contributions aggregate in excess of $200 per election cycle.
People know Tet occurred around Christmastime and in 1968 (of course, it was near the Xmas of '67). Could that be where the mistake came in?
Could this be a Kerry op designed to smear anti-Kerry veterans by getting them to associate with a fraud, which would then be revealed at a more opportune time? I'd just stick with the established SwiftVets.com. That group was smart to only accept Swift Boat veterans (people they know).
