Two Vietnam veterans, Gov. Gray Davis and U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry, appealed to former soldiers Wednesday to rally to Davis' side and against the effort to oust him from office. They also sought to blame President Bush for many of the problems that fuel the recall effort.
Touring a Westwood facility that provides job training, drug treatment and other services for veterans, Davis referred to his tenure in the governor's office as "my tour of duty," one that he said he should be allowed to complete. He reiterated his belief that the recall effort was disruptive to the economy and would usher in a cycle of retaliatory special elections.
Davis also addressed the budget and economic issues that concerned many of those who signed recall petitions. "Those problems are being solved or diminished. The problems are getting better," he said.
