Below is my letter to Oliver North. While watching Stolen Honor today, it came to me that it has been edited to fit perfectly into a one-hour time slot and that Ollie's show, War Stories, is the perfect place for it to be shown.
I have no idea how realistic this concept is, but being the eternal optomist I really want to try. Anyone wishing to join in can also write to Col. North at:

Dear Lieutenant Colonel North,
I recently purchased the DVD of the documentary film, Stolen Honor. It would be a gross understatement to say that I was both deeply moved and deeply angered by what I saw and heard. This is clearly a viewing experience that every American of voting age should have before the November election.
As a fellow veteran, I am certain that you are as outraged as I am at the prospect of the odious John Kerry becoming our nation's commander in chief. Stolen Honor makes the case against Kerry better and more effectively than any other message on any other medium I have seen to date. This is the film America should be seeing rather than the dishonest and disgraceful Fahrenheit 9/11.
I could not help but notice that Stolen Honor is slightly over 40 minutes in length. That means that it would fit perfectly into a one-hour network or cable slot including the commercials and other mandatory breaks. I urge you to please consider airing this honest and worthy production as a segment of War Stories before the November election.
The link to the film's website is: Stolen Honor
Thank you for your consideration of this suggestion.
PING!
The odds of STOLEN HONOR being shown on Fox are microscopic. The CBS debacle will have made all of the networks skittish.
Having said that, I would love to see it aired.
Sadly, I tend to agree. However, if Ollie's show is HISTORY, Stolen Honor is HISTORY as told by some of its most aware contemporaries. The very best any opposing party could muster is ignorance or unawareness of Kerry's behavior.

Ping......
Maybe it should be on the History Channel, eh? Well, maybe in a few years...
The War Stories I've seen have been accounts of specific battles, with narration by North with interviews and commentary of participants.
Is Stolen Honor like that, or is it a documentary spanning a period of time and several events?
When Kerry is asked about the nightmares that haunted his sleep for years after he returned from Vietnam, he shrugs. "I don't think I've had a nightmare in a long time," he says. But then Heinz begins to mimic Kerry having a Vietnam nightmare.
"Down! Down, down!" she yells, patting her hands down on her auburn hair.
"I haven't gotten slapped yet," she says. "But there were times when I thought I might get throttled."
Kerry quivers his right foot and steers the discussion to the counseling programs he has supported for Vietnam veterans. Asked if he has been in therapy himself, he non-answers. "It doesn't bother me anymore, I just go back to sleep."
Has he been sent a copy of the DVD?
Thanks for this thread. I got my copy(VHS)of Stolen Valor late last week.It was moving and awesome!
Thanks for the ping!
BTTT!!!!!!!!
Stolen Honor will never be shown in its entirety on TV.
I donated at StolenHonor.com on 9-6, received an e-mail on 9-8 asking if I wanted DVD or VHS. Haven't received it yet!
What is needed is for Rush and Hannity to play audio clips, and for Brit to play clips on Fox. Stolen Honor and Swiftvets could both use Steve Pitkin as verification that the so-called Winter Soldiers were coached in their "stories" of atrocities by Kerry.
Stolen Honor ~ Bump!
"I haven't gotten slapped yet," she says. "But there were times when I thought I might get throttled."
Kerry quivers his right foot and steers the discussion to the counseling programs he has supported for Vietnam veterans. Asked if he has been in therapy himself, he non-answers. "It doesn't bother me anymore, I just go back to sleep."
What we need to do (and I have been trying to do) is to get the Swiftvets to incorporate these POWs into their ads.
An Ad where these men are featured would end Kerry as a serious candidate.
PING - See above. Consider sending Swiftvets an email too. If we can get them incorporated into a Swiftvets ad it would have an enormous impact since they get broad, free coverage every time they come out with a hard hitting ad.
