Dear Debbie,
Thanks for the great article you wrote regarding Vietnam veterans in GOPUSA.com. Someone posted it on Freerepublic.com, my favorite Conservative News forum.
Your commentary brought tears to my eyes. I am glad you were able to watch 'Stolen Honor' before the election. I did everything I could to spread the word about it. I attended a public showing of it in Orlando, Florida at the Lake Eola Band shell six days before the election. I was fortunate to attend a private reception afterward for the POWs and Swiftee attendees. It was an evening I shall never forget. I got to meet these brave men who valiantly served in Vietnam and exposed Kerry for the fraud he attempted to portray on the American electorate, as well as those that endured years of captivity and abuse and torture and never succumbed to their captors demands, but were forced to listen to the voice of a man who betrayed all of us, who had worn the same uniform. That man was defeated in his attempt to ascend to Commander-In-Chief by George W. Bush, with the support of millions of veterans.
I worked very hard for President Bush's reelection, and I fought even harder for Kerry's exposure and defeat. I knew immediately that the one group who could do the most damage to Kerry was the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, and I worked feverishly to support them. The leftist media did a great job of convincing the public and especially the rank-in-file Republicans that it would be illegal to have any connection with the Swiftees, which was totally incorrect. The Swiftees were attacked at every turn by the Democrat surrogate minions in the liberal media. The Bush-Cheney campaign was prohibited from coordinating with any '527' group, but rank-in-file members had no such restriction. Many Republicans had a great opportunity to meet and appreciate these brave men who once again answered the call to serve their nation, but stayed away out of erroneous fear of hurting the campaign.
I hope now that every Republican can take this opportunity of Veterans' Day to reach out to all Vietnam veterans and publicly thank them for their service to our country in Vietnam as well as their efforts to expose and defeat our betrayer, John Kerry.
