"Unfit For Command," Pages 3-4 :
The Swift Boat veterans gather for a 30 year reunion in 2003.
Three hundred attend.
Master of ceremonies, Dan Daly introduces various dignitaries present, to polite applause.
Daly introduces Swiftees to rousing applause and cheers.
Daly goes to microphone to signal out Senator John Kerry for recognition-dead silence follows.
Daly, embarrassed said " I guess I laid an egg with that one."
Earlier, Kerry had arrived to the reunion, with an entourage- a film crew, a corps of directors and assistants.
" Pushing aside various Swiftees, Kerry positioned himself dockside so he could be filmed on the restored PCF that was the centerpiece of the reunion."
"As was his habit, Kerry ignored many of his fellow Swiftees."
Kerry asked for volunteers for his video-most declined.
After filming the video, Kerry and his entourage left
" not bothering to attend a memorial service for the Swiftees who had died in Vietnam."
