As a Swift boat sailor, I feel so proud and honored that so many people, from different backgrounds that has come out to fight and stand along with this group against a common evil, jfk. I think of the families that lost someone in Vietnam, I think of Albert Fransen, KIA but MIA and what did they think when jfk talked about autrocities committed in Vietnam; did they think their love ones did those actions? We know they did not, but how or what did those families think because of jfk? I thank all of you and applaud you for your support for this cause and I thank the Swifties; my brothers for their stand. Bravo Zulu! |

I think all of us non-Swiftees are very proud to stand with you. You've given us something we can support whole-heartedly, as you can tell by the massive amounts of message traffic, here.
Please feel free to jump in and chat wherever you feel most comfortable. Thank you for joining us - please let all the other Swifts know that their presence here would be most welcome, as well. _________________ ~ Echo Juliet ~

We're proud to stand by you, and I thank you for having the courage and honor to come forward and put yourself in the line of fire again to make sure this country isn't subjected to the disgrace of having someone like John Kerry as our elected leader. We're going to win this one, and we'll owe it to you and the other Swiftboat veterans for making it happen. We're the ones that are proud and honored, and we'll never forget. Thanks for giving us the opportunity, and you guys keep the faith. We're with you all the way.

Thank you and all the Swiftees for your past service, and for taking on this battle ... I was feeling so miserable when Kerry entered the campaign -- I was just a teenager during Nam, but I remembered what Kerry said and what he did back then --my brother was over there (Navy/helo crew) -- Anyway, back in May while watching C-Span, I accidentally caught the Swiftee press conference, and when I saw John O’Neill and listened to his statement about the formation of SBVFT, I leapt to my feet in joy! What a moment of great hope, and what an honor to see the courage of all the men coming forward… I am so grateful to play even a small role in supporting this mission of keeping that man out of the Whitehouse. |

We are truly blessed to associated with the Swift Vets for Truth. It has been said you can judge a person by the company they keep. Not only am I honored to be associated with this fine group of individuals, it has restored my faith in humankind. I did not realize how much I missed the camraderie of the military. We are truly in the company of the finest veterans who have ever served. We owe it to all veterans past, present and future to uphold our oath to protect the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. May God bless and keep you all.

It is truly an honor to support the swiftvets. I have not felt this good about a cause in...... well....hmmmm.....I have not felt this good about a cause!
Honor, integrity, truth, that is what the swiftvets are about and that is why we rally around them. We all share a love of these values, above and beyond our own personal politics.
God bless the swiftvets! _________________ "And no pair has been more wrong, more loudly, more often, than the two Senators from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry"

I want to thank you for your service. Service of thirty years ago and your service to our country today.
I do no "hate" anyone. But John Kerry's actions upon his return from Vietnam were dispicable. He must be held accoutable for his actions. Gee, what a concept, holdling someone accoutable for his acitons.
take care and God bless _________________ Desert Storm Vet |
