John, my heartfelt thanks go out to you.

Your 33 year long war is coming to an end. You and the other Swifties & POW's have won a great battle. Keep on fighting until John Kerry is finally discredited and voted out of office! The country is behind you. Now, finally, the healing of the country can be completed.

Thank you John for all your hard work and countless hours of effort. Your numerous interviews helped spread the truth and because of that the American people won.

John, you made a difference.

Mr. O'Neil,

I know much of this country doesn't realize the debt they owe to you and your colleagues at Swiftvets. But I do. You displayed the quiet strength and unbreakable resolve that the great and unsung heroes of America have displayed throughout history. You heroes were cut from the same mold as the true Winter Soldiers at Valley Forge, Col. Joshua Chamberlain and the 20th Maine at Little Round top, Sgt. York, and the Marines at Iwo Jima. Unfortunately, you were recognized for your prior service by too few people and too late. I hope your recent efforts may turn the tide of history and allow more people to look anew at what Viet Nam was really about and what really happened those many years ago. I know you will once again return to your firesides and quiet lives, but know that there is a grateful section of this country that will never forget when the Swiftvets let loose the dogs of war on a truly deserving opponent.

Respectfully,
David

John,

Yours is the epitome of the concept of: "Patriot".

I know that you'd probably rather troll the Rach Gia at dead slow at noon with both twin 50's out of ammo than to sit patiently making your point to Colmes, Russert, and other assorted ambushers.
Your book and your example galvanized a forgotten sector of the Vietnam War and were responsible not only for the fall of John Kerry but also revealed the corrupt underbelly of the MSM for all to see.

I hope that you'll stay on Kerry until he retires and moves back to Paris (soon). This country cannot permit those Massachusetts fools to foist another Teddy Kennedy on us!

(....and I was born in Boston!) Wink

I cannot say anything better than what has been said before me on this thread. I feel our money was well spent, and used to great effect. You put yourself out there on the front lines again to protect our country, and for that you have our undying gratitude. Thanks for the parade.

Mr. O'Neill-- you sir are a true hero. A true swiftie-- watching you face the bullets of lies and slander with out blinking or wavering. Taking shot after shot and replying with the TRUTH and nothing but TRUTH was nothing but inspiring to not only all who served with you but to those of us who wish we had the honor and integrity to stand beside you. Thank you does not do justice for all you have done................ but Thank you just the same.....

I want to thank John and Swifities/POW's too! Your efforts, and hard work won this election.
My husband cried this morning when the election was called. The first thing he said, was "I want to see John O'Neill on a program today! He feels wounds healing today!
He said during Kerry's speech today, that had it been anyone else up there conceding, he might feel a little sorry for them, (maybe) but that Kerry finally got the defeat he desreved, and now he(my husband) can sleep tonight!
Thanks again you guys, you have done more for the Vets, than I think anyone outside this group will ever know!
Our money was well spent.
You are all True American Patriots! God bless you all!

Mr. O'Neill, you showed us what one faithful man can accomplish, if he disregards his personal discomfort, maintains unflinching loyalty to his fellow men, and spends his energy relentlessly in pursuit of justice.

You have inspired many, and have helped unite a citizen army committed to turning back the tide of destruction that threatens the America we love, and endangers the people of the world who look to us in hope.

For our children and our grandchildren, we must carry the battle forward, relentless as John O'Neill in our determination to hear, speak and carry the truth into the face of the enemies of truth, not counting the cost.
To do less is to deserve less than the great country we call the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

Thank you for reminding us of who we ought to be.

Mr O'Neil, Mr Gardner, the other Swifties, and POWs,

Thank you so much for coming forward and getting the truth out. Through all your harrassing interviews and namecalling from the left, you all remained professional and never let them have the upper hand. You brought the worst out of your opponents and came away each time as the victor.

You also taught me about a time I knew very little about due to the media bias and liberal rewrite of history. I only hope we can undo their damage and bring the true story to light.

I can't find the words to express how relieved and happy I am for you all in your victory of this battle.

Your courage and conviction will never go unforgotten in my household.

May God Bless all of you and your families,

Ann
