We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans' Day waving small flags, calling to memory those thousands who died for the "greater glory of the United States." We will not accept the rhetoric. We will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars -- in fact, we will find it hard to join anything at all and when we do, we will demand relevancy such as other organizations have recently been unable to provide. We will not take solace from the creation of monuments or the naming of parks after a select few of the thousands of dead Americans and Vietnamese. We will not uphold traditions which decorously memorialize that which was base and grim.
-- John Kerry, in "The New Soldier"
Letting this man with no convictions speak in front of the American Legion is an affront to those whose lives he put in jeopardy with his lies.

I hope there will be many in attendance who will stand up and turn their backs to Kerry. It is wildly hypocritical for him to be there. I can't understand why any vet would support this guy.
