To The Citizens Of Free Republic:

We will never ever forget your support and help. Your threads not only encouraged us but kept the truth alive in a period when Big Media sought to suppress the story. Your e-mails and phone calls to Big Media at least shamed them. The thousands of contributions we got from you helped us to organize our website, produce our earliest ads, and keep the light flickering in the darkest of times. The English at Agincourt would have executed Kerry for meeting with the enemy and betraying them. In contrast, we found a true band of brothers who stood with us and supported us. Thank you. We will never forget it.

Dittos. May the Lord bless all those who honorably serve to defend the innocent from the forces of evil.

Thank you, John. Thanks to all of the Swifties and POWs who put everything on the line. Although my contribution was modest I was proud to help.

[MinuteGal]

To John and all the Swifties.....Well done, thou good and faithful Americans. My admiration for each of you knows no bounds.

You helped not just this country but the world.

Mr. O'Neill

I watched you repeatedly take the buffeting from the MSM and was proud that there are men such as you on our side.

A Miami Cuban thanks you. Hell, an AMERICAN thanks you.

[uncleshag]

Please pass on our family's appreciation for what John O'Neill and his brethern have done for truth, justice and the American way.

If that sounds familiar, it should.

Each one is truly a super man. God bless John O'Neill and the Swiftboat veterans and may God Bless America!

[Rabid Dog]

This makes me feel like crying! Tell him thanks for all of us!

[tubebender]

John and Swifties. Thank you for delivering a service above the call of duty. I want you to know the money my wife and I sent you was the best political bargain we have ever contributed to. God Speed to all of you...

I taped that first news conference on C-Span and made over a dozen copies to pass out to friends who in turn passed them along to friends. The Swift Boats Vets should know how much they did to set the record straight, especially for those of us educated in public schools who were taught John Kerry's version.

Please let Mr. O'Neill know, his victories are millions of hearts, not just an election. They asked so little having endured so much and it's us that will never forget.

Most of us at Free Republic gave money or sat behind our computers and wrote memos, letters and e-mails but John you did the most heroic actions of the campaign. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to you and all of the Swift Vets. A simple thanks just doesn't seem to be enough.

If I send more money, will the Swiftees keep going after JFnK until he signs the SF-180?

I believe the Swift Boat Vets were a major factor in the defeat of THE TRAITOR.
I was more than glad to help. God speed and never let the bastards get away with insulting and disrespecting Vietnam vets again.

What John O'Neill and Capt. Roy Hoffman...

Alas, you have demoted Admiral Hoffmann and amputated the final "n" from his name.

I certainly wouldn't want to be in your shoes...

John and the Swift Vets were sent from heaven.

Dear Mr. O'Neill,

Thank you and your fellow Swiftees and POWs for the incredible courage you once again showed in this fight to keep a traitor out of the White House. We see what you all went through to do this.

Thank you, personally, for an amazing example of grace under pressure as you used truth and logic against every kind of weapon short of nuclear in your battles in the mainstream media. I will truly miss hearing your voice on all of those radio shows. You are eloquent and upright and you set the bar higher for discourse in this country.

It was a great pleasure to donate to your group. FINALLY we felt that our money was going to a good cause and would make an immediate difference. I have two copies of your book. Unfortunately, political correctness has a hold on regular political advertisements. I hope your example, and the fact that you never strayed from the main message you set out to convey, will set a precedent for future political campaigns.

Thank you.

We've said it here and said it when speaking with our friends who also are Vets, Thank God for the Swiftboat Vets!

These guys became our voices and our chance to finally speak out against Kerry. What he did and said when he came back was a painful moment in their lives and ours. But especially to the POW's, and to the families who lost loved ones! None of us have forgotten what he did and said and we never will. But being a part of the Swiftboat Vets by donating made us feel like we could "do" something. That helped!

Kerry's activities were the pivotal moment when Americans turned against the troops.

We can't thank the Swiftboat Vets enough for what they did.

Every dollar we sent was money well spent. Every time we saw an add the emails smoked from Vet to Vet through cyber space. We all felt as though we were a part of getting those adds out. It was a great feeling.

[Rabid Dog]

Very Important Bump!

[EternalVigilance]

IMO, John O'Neill and his comrades are the 'Men of the Year, 2004'.

Heroes one and all...I salute them with gratitude.
