HumaneUSA.org
| Quote: | | When I was serving on a swiftboat in Vietnam, my crewmates and I had a dog we called VC. We all took care of him, and he stayed with us and loved riding on the swiftboat deck. I think he provided all of us with a link to home and a few moments of peace and tranquility during a dangerous time. One day as our swiftboat was heading up a river, a mine exploded hard under our boat. After picking ourselves up, we discovered VC was MIA. Several minutes of frantic search followed after which we thought we'd lost him. We were relieved when another boat called asking if we were missing a dog. It turns out VC was catapulted from the deck of our boat and landed confused, but unhurt, on the deck of another boat in our patrol. |
Did this really happen?! This is supposedly Kerry's response to a question asked by HumaneUSA and was being discussed on Atlanta radio this morning. One caller to the show brought up an interesting point: what might be the consequences of calling out for "VC" while on a combat mission?  |

Sorry, admin! I actually did start this in Gedunk, before I moved it to SBVFT! 
Thanks for the link, kmudd. I'm sure this has been around for a while, but it was new to me today, and I didn't find anything when I searched for it.
Even though it's just a cute little dog story, the question of whether or not there is any truth to it seems relevant to me. |

It is important because it shows Kerry is lying again . Thanks for posting about this I never heard this story either. |
