I read through Kerry's book online and noted the names of some contributors. It should come as no surprise that some of them end up being part of VVAW. But I decided to look up different ones as well. To see why they're so supportive of Kerry. Here's the first one:

SKIP ROBERTS.

Roberts had been part of the VVAW. Today he is a lobbyist for the Service Employees International Union. He opposes many things the Bush administration has done. But the link has been apparently constant between himself and Kerry. Enough, I suppose, for him to have met with Kerry:

Quote:
March 8, 2001 – meeting in Senate office with Skip Roberts (LDA), et al, from Service Employees International Union (LDA).


Below are multiple links of interest, maybe...

Could this explain why he is still in the "band of brothers?"
