My God! I consider myself reasonably well-informed, but I'd never heard that -- no doubt because the book has been suppressed by Kerry and his allies, the mainstream media. We need to get this out!
I'm going to post the quote again, just because I find it so amazing:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans' Day waving small flags, calling to memory those thousands 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 that which was base and grim.
It is from these things the New Soldier is asking America to turn. We are asking America to turn from false glory, hollow victory, fabricated foreign threats, fear which threatens us as a nation, shallow pride which feeds off fear, and mostly from the promises which have proven so deceiving these past ten years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unbelievable.

"Six marines were forever immortalized in the photograph as they raised the flag..."I think it was 5 Marines and a Navy Corpsman (John Bradley).

I hope someone at the hall prints Kerrys comment up in HUMONGOUS LETTERS and hangs it up in the back of the American Legion Hall. I also pray that multitudes of these brave servicemen stand up and turn their backs to him the entire time he is speaking. That way, after the speech, when the press assails them wanting to know why they snubbed him, they can turn to the large banner containing Kerrys direct quote and say: "read HIS WORDS, that is why we want NOTHING to do with this man."

We are asking America to turn from false glory...fabricated foreign threats... Well, his own false glory appears to be what Kerry has been touting. Instead of fabricating foreign threats, Kerry fabricated foreign travel.

Kerry presents such a wonderful target for the conservative political cartoonists.
