“Why one of the wealthiest men in the Senate would expect others to pay his lawyers and use questionable Senate privileges against veterans is shameful.”

Maybe his sugar-mamma cut his allowance...

Ironically, the account is named “Fund for Truth and Honor.”

That is ironic!

Do you know if the VVLF is accepting donations towards their legal fund? I checked out the SwiftVets link, but couldn't find anything on this. I'd be happy to contribute to their ongoing fight against that fool Kerry.

We already know about Ted "Hic!!" Kennedy's character.

With that bio, I'd have to say that Colonel Day's credibility is unquestionable. The man is truly an American Hero.

Day, George E.
CITATION:

Rank and organization: Colonel (then Major), U.S. Air Force, Forward Air Controller Pilot of an F-100 aircraft. Place and date: North Vietnam, 26 August 1967. Entered service at: Sioux City, Iowa. Born: 24 February 1925, Sioux City, Iowa. Citation: On 26 August 1967, Col. Day was forced to eject from his aircraft over North Vietnam when it was hit by ground fire. His right arm was broken in 3 places, and his left knee was badly sprained. He was immediately captured by hostile forces and taken to a prison camp where he was interrogated and severely tortured. After causing the guards to relax their vigilance, Col. Day escaped into the jungle and began the trek toward South Vietnam. Despite injuries inflicted by fragments of a bomb or rocket, he continued southward surviving only on a few berries and uncooked frogs. He successfully evaded enemy patrols and reached the Ben Hai River, where he encountered U.S. artillery barrages. With the aid of a bamboo log float, Col. Day swam across the river and entered the demilitarized zone. Due to delirium, he lost his sense of direction and wandered aimlessly for several days. After several unsuccessful attempts to signal U.S. aircraft, he was ambushed and recaptured by the Viet Cong, sustaining gunshot wounds to his left hand and thigh. He was returned to the prison from which he had escaped and later was moved to Hanoi after giving his captors false information to questions put before him. Physically, Col. Day was totally debilitated and unable to perform even the simplest task for himself. Despite his many injuries, he continued to offer maximum resistance. His personal bravery in the face of deadly enemy pressure was significant in saving the lives of fellow aviators who were still flying against the enemy. Col. Day's conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the U.S. Air Force and reflect great credit upon himself and the U.S. Armed Forces.

Good for Colonel Day. Looks like Kerry grabbed a tiger by the tail and now the tiger won't let go.

That fact is utterly revolting and sickening. How Kerry can parade himself around as a distinguished vetern is beyond my comprehension. Get 'em, Col.!

I understand one of kerry's vehicles has a vanity license plate " 3 PHs". Sickening is an understatement.

Because he's a miserable RAT bastard.

I feel sorry for the Kerry's. They don't even have the 39 cents to send in John's signed SF-180.
