I really don't know anything about the Vets for the Truth. Is there any member of this group that was prominent in the Swift Boat Veterans?

There were two separate groups of veterans that were active in the 2004 election cycle.

1.) Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, or Swifties. These were the men who served on Swift Boats during the Vietnam War. They served with John Kerry and knew first-hand that Kerry was a fraud regarding his medals. One of the most prominent Swift Boat Veterans is John O'Neill. He and Jerome Corsi co-authored the best-seller, "Unfit for Command" about John Kerry's military hero fraud.

2.) Vietnam Vets for Truth (VVT). None of its members ever served on a swift boat in Vietnam. They served in other capacities. The most prominent member was/is CAPT. Larry Bailey. Bailey is a decorated Vietnam War veteran, a retired Navy SEAL Captain and former Commanding Officer of the Naval Special Warfare Center, where all Navy SEALS undergo basic and advanced training. Larry was President of Vietnam Vets for Truth, and organizer of the 2004 Kerry Lied Rally held on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. and organizer of the highly successful 2004 Operation Street Corner campaign against John Kerry.

In 2006 the Vietnam Vets for Truth (VVT) regrouped as a committee under Iowa Presidential Watch's '527' PAC. They were renamed Vets For The Truth (VFTT). CAPT Larry Bailey is once again President of this fine group of individuals.
