GOD bless the Swiftees.
Thank you, and WELCOME home honorable veterans.

[eyespysomething]

Keep it up. Get this traitor out of the senate.

[A Navy Vet]

Admiral, I can't thank you enough. I've been waiting decades for you VN vets to speak out. You've done an exemplary job. Bless you and God speed in your endeavors.

The Admiral and his fellow Swiftees sailed straight into the teeth of what they knew would be overwhelming personal attacks by the MSM, but they did it anyway because it was right. We owe you guys a second debt of gratitude!

[ozzymandus]

These brave men deserve the Silver Star and the Purple Heart for their bravery in political combat and for the wounds they suffered at the hands of the lying liberal media, who attacked them in the most dishonest and foul manner.

I think you should finish the job by continuing to work to find out about his discharge. He will still be in the Senate and a certified traitor should be prosecuted.

Sir, I salute you for your duty to your country. Such duty does not end with one's tour of service, but extends beyond that time into our services as citizens of this great country.

Your actions and persistance were subjected to the fire of a partisan press that sought to take our country onto the path of socialist programs, led by a dishonest character who offered persons government services for their votes. Your duty was clear, your mission brilliantly executed.

Not only did you act with honor and distinction, but you led others with such qualities. Your mission was accomplished. Our nation has a president of honor because of your tireless and brave acts.

Thank You, from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you so much, Admiral. I am humbled by the courage and honor shown by the Swiftboat Vets and POWs for Truth during this campaign. I truly feel your group's exposure of John Kerry's dishonor was the chief cause of his defeat.

Signed,

Thank you Swift Boat Vets! You are all heroes!!!

[cubreporter]

God bless you all. Your contributions to this country were admirable and you did not deserve the welcome you were given. You have achieved your goal and we are all better for it. It's too bad John Kerry had to invoke Vietnam in order to become a candidate for Commander-in-Chief. However, unbeknownst to him he awoke a sleeping giant and the issue he had hoped would hand him the presidency only served to be his demise. The vets have been exonerated and now...thanks to John Kerry... Vietnam is behind us forever.

Thank you all...you are heroes! God bless all the vets, POW's and MIA's.

Swifties, POW's, Nam Vets, let me draw your attention to a special message from your President. See the items in bold, please and 'read between the lines.'

President George W. Bush Gives Thanks in Re-Election Acceptance Speech


The Ronald Reagan Building
Washington, D.C.

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all. Thank you all for coming. We had a long night -- and a great night. (Applause.) The voters turned out in record numbers and delivered an historic victory. (Applause.)

Earlier today, Senator Kerry called with his congratulations. We had a really good phone call, he was very gracious. Senator Kerry waged a spirited campaign, and he and his supporters can be proud of their efforts.
(Applause.) Laura and I wish Senator Kerry and Teresa and their whole family all our best wishes.

America has spoken, and I'm humbled by the trust and the confidence of my fellow citizens. With that trust comes a duty to serve all Americans, and I will do my best to fulfill that duty every day as your President. (Applause.)

There are many people to thank, and my family comes first.
(Applause.) Laura is the love of my life. (Applause.) I'm glad you love her, too. (Laughter.) I want to thank our daughters, who joined their dad for his last campaign. (Applause.) I appreciate the hard work of my sister and my brothers. I especially want to thank my parents for their loving support. (Applause.)

I'm grateful to the Vice President and Lynne and their daughters, who have worked so hard and been such a vital part of our team. (Applause.) The Vice President serves America with wisdom and honor, and I'm proud to serve beside him. (Applause.)

I want to thank my superb campaign team. I want to thank you all for your hard work. (Applause.) I was impressed every day by how hard and how skillful our team was. I want to thank Marc -- Chairman Marc Racicot and
-- (applause) -- the Campaign Manager, Ken Mehlman. (Applause.) And the architect, Karl Rove. (Applause.) I want to thank Ed Gillespie for leading our Party so well. (Applause.)

I want to thank the thousands of our supporters across our country. I want to thank you for your hugs on the rope lines; I want to thank you for your prayers on the rope lines; I want to thank you for your kind words on the rope lines. I want to thank you for everything you did to make the calls and to put up the signs, to talk to your neighbors and to get out the vote. (Applause.) And because you did the incredible work, we are celebrating today. (Applause.)

There's an old saying, "Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your tasks." In four historic years, America has been given great tasks, and faced them with strength and courage. Our people have restored the vigor of this economy, and shown resolve and patience in a new kind of war. Our military has brought justice to the enemy, and honor to America. (Applause.) Our nation has defended itself, and served the freedom of all mankind. I'm proud to lead such an amazing country, and I'm proud to lead it forward. (Applause.)

Because we have done the hard work, we are entering a season of hope. We'll continue our economic progress. We'll reform our outdated tax code. We'll strengthen the Social Security for the next generation. We'll make public schools all they can be. And we will uphold our deepest values of family and faith.

We will help the emerging democracies of Iraq and Afghanistan --
(applause) -- so they can grow in strength and defend their freedom. And then our servicemen and women will come home with the honor they have earned. (Applause.) With good allies at our side, we will fight this war on terror with every resource of our national power so our children can live in freedom and in peace. (Applause.)

Reaching these goals will require the broad support of Americans. So today I want to speak to every person who voted for my opponent: To make this nation stronger and better I will need your support, and I will work to earn it. I will do all I can do to deserve your trust. A new term is a new opportunity to reach out to the whole nation. We have one country, one Constitution and one future that binds us. And when we come together and work together, there is no limit to the greatness of America. (Applause.)

Let me close with a word to the people of the state of Texas.
(Applause.) We have known each other the longest, and you started me on this journey. On the open plains of Texas, I first learned the character of our country: sturdy and honest, and as hopeful as the break of day. I will always be grateful to the good people of my state. And whatever the road that lies ahead, that road will take me home.

The campaign has ended, and the United States of America goes forward with confidence and faith. I see a great day coming for our country and I am eager for the work ahead. God bless you, and may God bless America.
(Applause.)

IOW, thank you for what you did to expose the truth and make sure we beat that traitor, Jane F. Kerry. America's disgrace of giving up on its ultimately devoted military servants "will not happen on my watch."

[mission9]

Anybody up to Freeping David Brinkley? His reprehensible put down of the swifties deserves more attention. I think he is a fellow at the Eisenhower Library.

[CaraM]

Thank You, Swiftboat Veterans, POW's and Military Wives, for fighting another war for America.
You have endured tremendous hardship. Twice now. First in the Vietnam war, now in our own country. You were steadfast and never waivered in spite of tremendous attack and abuse.

We thank you with all of our hearts.

[smiley]

It was a pleasure having you bring truth out in the sunlight.
