Growing up, my Dad was always troubled by the betrayal of some in this country during his service in Vietnam.

I remember when my mom's car broke down and she had to drive us both to church in my dad's car. I still wonder what the church members thought about the "Jane Fonda: American Traitor *****" bumper sticker on the back window.

Later in life, my dad joined several Vietnam Vet organizations. His final service was all volunteer with the Salvation Army in Maui - serving the homeless, ringing the bell at Christmas, doing whatever he could. He passed away in January of this year - at only 53 - and was given a military burial on the island.

These "protesters" that desecrated our soldiers, compromised our POWs, and met with enemy governments during wartime, deserve expulsion or worse. They certainly don't deserve the privilege of leading this great nation.

Thank you for your work.

Every time I hear a member of the media say the issue of false medals is not relevant after 35 years, I want to jump through the tube and wring their neck. This is the Presidency of the United States we're talking about. How could we let a false hero, traitor and liar run for the office without questioning?

The only way to control my blood presure is to send another contribution to the Swiftees. It's getting to the point that the DW is questioning my sanity. However, if advertising budget runs low let us know and I'll try to keep my contributuions coming.

I'm a Vietnam Era veteran that was fortunate not to have to go to Vietnam. Spent my 14 months on the DMZ in Korea instead. Kerry's comments about Bush ANG services among others has insulted me as well. How can anyone with common sense not question 3 purple hearts in 3 1/2 months without a day of hopitalization? Get real!!!

Thank you for your brave service in Vietnam but also for your valiant fight for the honor of all American Veterans. You are our best hope of keeping this Communist sympathizer out of the White House. Go Swiftees Exclamation

I am making my second donation to your campaign to keep this pathological liar out of the oval office!

I believe you have raised issues that will develop into a tipping point for his defeat.

Keep up the good work! Your ads are much more effective than any the Republican's have or could run.

I really believe this is the most important election since I first voted in 1964.

Perhaps you can get Zell Miller to include some of your topics in the many news shows he is likely to appear in following his speech at the convention.

shamrockgreen,

All proceeds from the sale of Unfit for Command are donated to charity. The Swiftvets don't get the royalties.

Could only send ten dollars guys. Since becoming disabled, things are tight. However what the SBVT's are doing is most important. There are enough thunder and glory stealing fools out there, trying to pass themselves off as Hero's, we surely do not need a phoney wanna be, like Kerry in the White House.

3rd gen Navy · Posted: Sun Sep 05, 2004 12:52 pm Post subject: Respectfully disagree

I respectfully disagree, but it is not my intention to quibble. We can argue all day about the best way to support the Swift Vets, and I realize that this forum specifically adresses support through financial donation, however,

Buying UFC DOES support the Swift Vet cause!

While the $$$ do not go directly to SBVFT, buying UFC helps keep the message in the spotlight, and provides the opportunity to share the message. You can donate copies Libraries, share amongst open-minded undecideds, etc

FYI: I don't have the reference handy, but I believe that O'Niell is donating his share of the proceeds to the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society. So, if I'm correct, when you buy UFC, you ARE supporting our troops...

Take Home message, don't "preach to the choir", or "keep your light under a basket" Buying UFC does the most good when don't keep it to yourself! WHEN you buy a copy (or copies) of UFC, SHARE IT!

That being said, without the wish to denigrate ANY contribution, again I'll take up the cry,
"PLEASE give what money you can!"
I have no idea how SBVFT allocates our donations, nor do I care. To date, they have succeeded in accomplishing so many things on so many levels. Financial Support makes this possible! I trust them implicitly and intend to support as often as possible, with as much as possible. Please do the same.

GET SOME!

OK, My first ever political donation. I am a Viet Nam era civilian.

I often get the impression that if we didn't go in the military, or go to war, that we somehow don't have the right to speak out on the issue of Viet Nam. I say to that - ********.

I registered for the draft and that act ALONE gives me the right to speak.

However, rather than speaking out against the war when I was young, I LISTENED, to the men returning from there to Ft. Hood, where my father was stationed upon his return from VN.

Most of the time, the GI's were willing to share their stories with a young, curious fellow who wanted to know. Those stories I heard helped me form my opinions from a point BASED IN REALITY. And for that, I am grateful.

Keep up the good work, swifties. There are many VN era civilians on your side, too.

SwiftVets. Please thank all that have contributed and continue to contribute and correct their misbeleif that you are a political organization.
You SwiftVets are doing a BANG up job. America and all vets are glad you took up the fight. THANK YOU!!!
Believe me the real Nam Vets, of which I am one. Know Kerry let his alagator mouth overloaded his humming bird derrier.
The true shame and dishonor stops at only one door. John Kerry's.
Thanks to your organization the truth is slowly appearing like a thief from the darkness. This thief however is looking for one thing, kERRY AND HIS LIES. Once it finds them, its goodnight for Johnzo.

GEORGE W. BUSH 4 MORE YEARS. Laughing
