"It's past midnite said Charles the grinning boy..."
Blue Oyster Cult
For over 30 years...Vietnam Veterans..(and let's be honest here...EVERY veteran is included in John Kerrys statements..as Viet Vets were TRAINED by Korean Veterans...by WWII Veterans..so they are implicated too.) have had a 900 pound gorilla on their backs. They have had the "Scarlet Letter" squarely placed on their foreheads...telling the world that they (in the world of John Kerry) are "..killers and rapists."
For the entire time we have had to live with the knowledge in our hearts that when we said we served in Vietnam...in the backs of peoples minds sprang the word..."babykiller...or rapist."
True, John Kerry did NOT start the movement that painted us as evil, but he did give it a solid base...he did make it a very real thing in some peoples minds.
More than anyone alive today...he made it legitimate to call us those things.
As he is quick to tell you (I can imagine him telling every waiter he finds)..he did serve in Vietnam...and for four long months at that. To the world at large him saying those things about us...made it real.Made it something that those who hate America could run with.
For over 30 years we have had to take the blows...the hits. And we have been hit time and time again. It is now a T.V. and Movie standard that we are all mental defectives...who spent our time in the military roasting small children...just for the fun of it. It is now a cultural standard that,somehow, all of those of us who served in Vietnam....became unhinged and just became plain killers.
But now....(Yippie!!)John Kerry is running for President.
Now John Kerry has placed, and continues to place, his hopes of becoming President on those four long months in Vietnam. He's a "Hero" don't ya know????
But, as is evidenced by the "Swift Boat" ads....it is now our time to fight back.
It is now our time to remember all of those times when we were spit on...or had blood thrown on the uniforms that we proudly wore....and give it back.
Now it is our time to hit back.
We're all older now, those who served in Vietnam, with gray or white hair in place of the blond or brown.
With bodies that are starting to find more than a few reasons NOT to go on that long hike in the mountains.
Some of us (and in this area I would have to include myself) are terrified of re-visiting those times. Afraid of the demons that we no longer feel strong enough to withstand.
..and yet...we have one more 'tour of duty'.(Thanks Tonk!!)
One more time we have to put on the uniform of our Nation and fight for what we believe in...for our families...for our Country.
...and we will KNOW when we have achieved Victory.
We will know when we have re-claimed that Honour that was denied us.
We will know when the 'Scarlet Letter' is removed from our foreheads.
That day will be when we see John Kerry lose this election...when we view him behind the podium for one last time...admitting defeat.
For on that day all that he has said and done will be plainly revealed (even to the idiot liberals) that all he as said and done was a lie.
Time to hit back.
Only a few more weeks on this 'tour of duty'.

I have said it before...and will say it again.
When you put on the uniform..(doesn't matter which one)..you are part of my 'Band-of-Brothers'.

Thank You and God Bless!!!
We have laws and consequences for traitors and, as far as I'm concerned, they aren't being enforced the way they should be, for the sake of our soldiers and our nation's sovereignty.
We must defeat Kerry...if for no other reason than for 'them'.

I agree about listening to Kerry. I must admit, however, I did enjoy watching part of his speech to the Black Caucus...he was dronning on and on and the sparcely seated guests were less than enthuastic...politely clapping at the correct spots...at one point there were five who tried to get a standing ovation going...didn't work and made the event look even sillier. After that I just turned to the next station. It was a very entertaining few minutes for me.
redrock...I was a kid during Vietnam and didn't know or understand alot that was going on, but I want you to know I love you guys...all of our vets...and I wish I could give you all a big hug. I, and many others, are behind you all the way.
Yes it is, and this is a fight to the finish.
We will not falter, we will not fail.
Everyday, in the trenches of Buffalo, newyork!
Hell, I'd reup as a Private to defeat this POS traitor!
"But...that's just my opinion."
Don't feel lonesome. I think we are building a crowd, and it's looking pretty angry.
In 2000, when President Bush won, several Dims said they would leave the country. This year, when he wins again, they should do the right thing and follow up on their promises.
One of those leaving should hide Kerry in a trunk and take him with them.
Or maybe we should just give him a one way ticket to Vietnam, where he is a real hero.

Isn't he just way too cool?
Fred McMurray is on that black granite wall. He was betrayed by John Kerry. He has never been accounted for. For so many years that I had his bracelet I felt like it was just him and me. Thank you for being a voice for him.

This site isn't just for Fred...it's for all of you. I love you guys.
Soon, we'll get to see the absolute horror on Kerry's Elitist, Botoxed Mug when our President totally destroys him on election day! That will be a wonderful punishment for his iniquities, but I hope with all my might that he also ends up in JAIL, before it's all said and done!
Kerry hasn't responded, much less repudiated ANY charge made by the Swiftees! He won't even answer any question because he knows he is sunk! Here what SWIFTVETS means:

I went to the Jaguars game today in Jacksonville and wore my STOP Hanoi John Kerry T-shirt. I brought a portfolio full of these Swiftee stickers (MADE BY FREEPER WVROMANIA), to show everyone and maybe even sell a few! I received many positive comments. Everyone told me they were proud to see me standing up against Kerry and supporting the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth!
I did sell a few stickers but I realized folks will say good things, but they ain't gonna spend that BEER money!
I am PROUD to stand up and FIGHT KERRY and support the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth who are EXPOSING HIS FRAUD!
Swiftee sticker thread! Freep mail for details on how to get yours!
For Fred Howell McMurray, Jr...and the others...we will fight this one last fight.
