interesting Rassman didn't know about Kerry's medals but apparently he wrote him a letter in 1984 that went unanswered:


Except for a letter that went unanswered in 1984, just after Kerry was elected to the U.S. Senate, Rassman made no further attempt to contact Kerry.

Is Rassman on Kerry's payroll? If not, who is bankrolling him? Does he have a real job? IIRC, he's from Florence, Oregon (a beautiful little city on the Oregon Coast).

Not to take away from his service in Vietnam, but what has he done since then? He suddenly reappears when Kerry announces his run for the presidency, and he's been traveling with the campaign ever since.

I'm a retired cop. All the cops and retired cops I talk to fully understand that you don't HAVE to be on the boat to know pretty much what went down on the boat. There are only two cops in a radio car but the other guys in the command know what happens in other cars. This is especially true for particular incidents. Everybody responds. Everybody sees what's happening.
