Statement by Admiral Roy Hoffmann, founder of Swift Vets and POWs for Truth
NRO: The Corner ^ | November 3, 2004 | Admiral Roy Hoffmann

Posted on 11/03/2004 10:14:54 AM PST by West Coast Conservative

"We are pleased with the fact that we were able to effectively bring attention to our issues and raise questions regarding Senator Kerry’s character, leadership ability and qualifications as a potential Commander in Chief. As we have stated since we formed, we believed that John Kerry’s actions in Vietnam, coupled with the reprehensible statements he made after he returned were serious and consequently made him unfit for command. The primary purpose of our organization was to provide a voice for the courageous and honorable veterans of Vietnam, more than 280 Swift Boat Vets, Coast Guardsmen and POWs who served their country with honor. Our national grassroots efforts produced donors in every state in the nation as we raised more than $26 million, with more than $7 million in online contributions. In addition, Swift Boat Veterans and former POW's visited dozens of states to take their message directly to the American people. We were the true embodiment of grassroots citizen action, complied fully with federal election law and had every right to participate in the public discussion of John Kerry's qualifications as Commander in Chief."

He should be forced to resign from the senate in disgrace. Let's send this opportunistic traitor back where he belongs - he does not deserve to serve in any form what so ever

We vets that go back a war or two beyond Vietnam had no use for Kerry also. We may be old but we share a common love of country.

The swift Vets are the real heros and should be honored as such.

John Kerry is a fake and an abomination and should still be exposed as such until we all know what the remainder of his service records show.

John "Hanoi" Kerry is no less a traitorous commie in the Senate than he would have been as President.
Hopefully the effort to get the truth out will continue and he can be removed from the Senate.
