Kerry addresses the VFW next week -- he's gonna try some approach to put some of this to rest and create "healing" among the vets... it's his only recourse.

why the VFW has invited this traitor is beyond me.

An excerpt from Kerry's book, New Soldier:

We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans' Day waving small flags, calling to memory those thousands who died for the "greater glory of the United States." We will not accept the rhetoric. We will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars-in fact, we will find it hard to join anything at all and when we do, we will demand relevancy such as other organizations have recently been unable to provide. We will not take solace from the creation of monuments or the naming of parks after a select few of the thousands of dead Americans and Vietnamese. We will not uphold traditions which decorously memorialize that which was base and grim.
