This is link to the Charlotte radio station that carried Stephen Gardner's in studio interview on 8.6.04. He had another in studio interview 8.18.04, but the audio is not up yet.
Gardner served on Kerry's boat and is the only one that is a member of Swift Vets. He was there, he has the material, he is telling the TRUTH!
The Vietnam Viets are doing battle with the enemy again. It is the same enemy, 35 years years later. This time they will win!
I find it interesting how John Kerry is so eager to shut these men up. Are they not exercising their First Amendment rights to speak freely on matters politic, as GUARANTEED by the Constitution? Most combat veterans don't openly discuss their experiences. Kerry trumpets his war record from the mountain top. I'm sure most, if not all, of the "Swifties" would prefer to go on about thier lives without any notoriety. Yet,they risk ridicule and disdain from the world at large to call Kerry's version of his service into question. Why? Every story has TWO sides, and we'd all better pay close attention to this one.
You got that right! The slopes never beat us, only Kerry and his bunch did. Vietnam wasn't a war it was just a battle in the Cold War and we all know who won that one.
UNLIKE KERRY.......TRUE HEROES
