Dear Harry,

I stood with my brothers and sisters and volunteered for Vietnam. We who served banded together in combat, and worked together to fight for veterans' rights and benefits when we came home. Now we are organizing for a new cause -- taking back the White House.

I am honored that everywhere I go, I am joined by fellow veterans. Together, we have come a long way since the beginning of my campaign. Today we are kicking off a mission to organize 1 million "Veterans for Kerry" nationwide. And we are launching operations with coordinators in all fifty states.

From Maine to California, Veterans for Kerry will support those currently serving in the military, mobilize veterans, and give speeches on my behalf. Join Max Cleland, Fritz Hollings, my former crewmates, and others as our campaign demands better treatment for America's veterans and military families.

Join Veterans for Kerry today by visiting:

http://www.johnkerry.com/signup/veterans.php

From grassroots activism to unprecedented fundraising, you have accomplished so much for this campaign. During this week, when we honor our America's military heroes, I ask all of you, not just veterans, to demonstrate the strength of our commitment by helping military families.

Please make a contribution to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund -- a group that assists military families who have lost loved ones in Afghanistan, Iraq, and around the world. The fund helps these families with immediate needs such as buying food, providing schooling for children, helping families afford their homes, and flying parents to the funerals of their fallen sons and daughters.

Learn more and make a contribution directly to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund by visiting:

Sincerely,

John Kerry

Does anyone see an apology for his slander, his treason, and his mocking of the Iwo Jima Memorial? That's funny, I can't find it either .... Semper Fi!

Read what's next to my name below, h3analog.

Harry,

I thought you were a disabled Vet that's pressed for money? If you can spend 12 hours a day babbling on this site by computer you could spend 12 hours a day supporting your supposedly starving children with the same computer.

Get a Life! Get a Job! Stop Whining! You're not going to convince anyone on this website to vote for Kerry and that's just a fact.

This is my job, my car, my life unfortanetly. Those things we'er taken from me. 5years at a good i mean good job, gone, my liscense gone, my physical well being gone, me being able to work EVER again, gone. Me still owing on a student loan. It's just some people, mostly young like myself who havn't been through what you all have in Nam, does not see things the same way. that's why we are Americans. We all have our opions. I don't pity myself, I did, but i'm only human. I don't make others feel sorry for me. I do what I can when I can do it. God Bless you all. Yes people have helped me, and I've accepted it. I feel Bush has not. I've been a Vet and since 96, in the golden Clinton years. I have to fight tooth and nail now adays. thanks to a Congressman who is a fellow Veteran. Wayne Gilchrest 1st dist. Maryland.

OK, h3, time for a little show and tell. How exactly did Clinton's abysmal Veteran's and military policies help you? Exactly what has been withheld from you that you think you deserve from Bush? Bush has increased vet's spending much more than Clinton did. Are you saying Bush hurt you with a reduction in some specific area? Just curious .... if Bush is bad for vets, please prove it. Semper Fi!

All my thanks for your service Armorer. You represent exactly what it means to a true "American Patriot". May a Higher Power bless you and yours!
good luck on the Re-Up. They need men with your spirit.

And another Thing: I'd say the same thing even if you were a Kerry supporter, but I would have to question your sanity! Laughing

Hey... I just want to make it clear that I'm not the quadrapalegic on the respirator... that's the guy on the pamphlet with the smile telling me that I can still have a job. I appreciate the salutes and all, but save them for my commissioning. Very Happy

My intentions mean little unless I achieve my goal. In war all the effort in the world means squat if you don't accomplish your mission. Besides, I'm sure there's alot more people on this board and elsewhere that rate a salute more than me. For now at least, I'm just your humble armorer...

I do believe you will be an excellent Marine officer, Armorer! BTW, H3 said earlier that Kerry sent him some form letter attesting to gathering 1 million vets for his support. That's 1 million out of about 23 million. And by the way, I just read this from CBS (not your father's conservative station)

And as both presidential candidates vie for the veterans vote in 2004, right now President Bush holds a clear lead among those who have served. Veterans are also more likely than other voters to approve of how the president is handling both Iraq and the overall war on terror.

I for one will be glad when this crap is over so dubya can get back to work leading this great country. Long ashes, y'all.
