John Kerry told the world we were war criminals who raped, tortured and murdered in Vietnam. Now, thirty-three
years later, we will tell America the truth. Join us at the rally we call:
“Kerry Lied . . . While Good Men Died”

What: A peaceful remembrance of those with whom we
served in Vietnam - those who lived and those who died.
We will tell the story of their virtues and how that contrasts
with the lies told by John Kerry.

When: Sunday, Sept. 12, 2004 @ 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM EDT

Where: Upper Senate Park, U.S. Capitol Building, Washington, DC--
just to the left (north) of the view shown in this photo.
Vietnam veterans and their families and supporters are asked to attend.

Other veterans are invited as honored
guests. See details and veterans’ comments at www.kerrylied.com.

This will be a peaceful event--no shouting at or contact with others with different opinions. We fought for their
rights then, and we respect their rights now. This is NOT a Republican or a pro-Bush rally. Democrats,
Republicans and independents alike are warmly invited. Our gathering is to remember those with whom we
served, thereby giving the lie to John Kerry's smear against a generation of fine young men.

Selected members will wear badges identifying them as authorized to speak to the media about our event. Others
who speak to the media will speak only for themselves.
The program will stay on-message. Speakers will not engage in speculative criticism of John Kerry but will to deal
only in indisputable facts about John Kerry’s lies as they remind America of the true honor and courage of our
brothers in battle in Vietnam. Noted Atlanta radio personality Moby Carney will be Master of Ceremonies.

Among our speakers will be John O’Neill, co-author of “Unfit for Command, “Jug Burkett, author of “Stolen Valor,”
Dexter Lehtinen, Vietnam-wounded Miami attorney, and Laura Armstrong, daughter of a helicopter pilot who was
killed in Vietnam. Appropriate entertainment will also be part of the program.

Send this announcement to 10 or more of your brothers! Bring them by car, bus, train, plane or
motorcycle! Make this event one of pride in America, an event you would be proud to have your mother
or your children attend.

Money – it takes money to do this. Send whatever you can; anything will be appreciated. Make checks
payable to “Vietnam Vets for the Truth” and send to PO Box 49, Mt. Vernon, VA 22121. If you can’t
donate, don’t let that stop you from joining your brothers and sisters at the rally.

BRING AN AMERICAN FLAG. BRING A LAWN CHAIR OR BLANKET.

This rally will tell America we resent the lies told about Vietnam vets by
John Kerry, we remember the aid and comfort he gave to the enemy while
America's sons were dying, and we will never rest so long as he seeks to be
Commander in Chief.

Here is a message from our President, Larry Bailey:

-----------------------------------------------------------

Ralliers!

It's upon us; two days and a wake-up will see us on Rally Day, and things
are really turning and burning!

Before going any further, I'd like to invite all of you who are attending to
a "welcome-aboard" reception we are hosting at the Capitol Hill American
Legion Hall. That is located at 224 D Street, SE, in the District of
Columbia. It is only a couple of blocks to the southeast of the Capitol.
It will begin at 6:00 PM and last until...

I have been so blessed with the number and quality of volunteers who have
stepped forward and shouldered the load. I won't name a single one of them
lest I slight any of the others, but they have all done a magnificent job
toward making the Rally a memorable, and effective, event.

One minor admin note: all Ralliers should understand that DC has the
toughest gun laws in the nation; that's all I need to say.

If some of you are still looking for a ride to DC, go to our "lodging and
transportation" page and open up the car pool page. If there's not someone
there from your location, register yourself, and maybe someone will come
looking for you.

Starting Saturday, this place is going to explode with activity. The
reception has to be planned for, final preparations for the Rally will be
underway, and ol' Larry here will be ready for the loony bin! I comfort
myself in the sure and certain knowledge that it will all be over Sunday
night!

And that brings me to Operation Street Corner, which will continue through
Election Day. Our Florida Mafia has done an absolutely magnificent job of
putting on come-as-you-are displays in various sites in that battleground
state.

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS!

Starting at 2:00 PM at the American Legion Hall (224 D St. SE), we'll be
assembling some 80 flags. I need some volunteers to lend a hand. It'll be
light work that even Marines can handle! Come on down and lend a hand.
Also, starting at 0600 on Sunday, we'll need some strong backs to help the
engineers set up the stage and sound equipment. Who will help me?

If you would like to help and don't know exactly how to establish contact,
call me on my cell phone at 703-505-1006. I'll be on it all weekend. If
that fails, call my son Tucker at 617-308-3029; he's my Operations Officer,
God bless him!

After the Rally there'll be a need for volunteers to clean up the (light)
mess we'll create. I'd just ask you to stand fast and wait for somebody to
hand you a trash bag! Clean-up won't take very long with a few determined
trash-pickers going after it!

A word of caution--judging by the ringers "the other side" sent to our
Tuesday press conference, we can expect some counter-Rally activity. Just
let it roll off; the Capitol Police will have plenty of officers there, and
they will take good care of any troublemakers.

We've made Limbaugh today--he actually announced the time and place of the
Rally! That's a breakthrough, because Jeff Epstein hasn't had much luck
with Limbaugh's producer until today.

Any of you who live within a couple hundred miles of DC are urged to push
your friends to join you on your trip for the Rally. We REALLY want to have
a few thousand folks in attendance, so do what you can!

If you're coming in from out of town, please drive safely! We want you to
arrive whole! Until I see you on Sunday (or before), just think about our
sole reason for participating in this Rally--the lies John Kerry told about
us Vietnam servicemembers in 1971. This is our chance to set the record
straight.

Allbest to all of you,

Larry Bailey
President, VVT

[hopeful]

Bring your camera and video recorders too. Some of us who are stuck on the West Coast would like to get a glimpse of the proceedings!

[frankzzz]

I can't be there but, according to my local TV listings, CSPAN will be airing this event beginning at 2:00 EDT Sunday Sept. 12 (this afternoon) so I will be tuned in for that broadcast instead.

[manelly]

I wish I could be there with you all. My friends and I will be watching on CSPAN and cheering loudly!

Good luck all. I Wish I could be there. I will watch it on C-Span too. I hope this rally will resound so loudly in Washington, Kerry just gives up and goes home and cries.

[dusty]

The one meeting in the whole world I hated to miss.
Sorry I couldn't be there in body but rest assured I'm there in spirit.
Let the truth go forth.
To all that attend, my deepest thanks for taking the time and making the effort and spending the money.

Let's continue this conversation on the duplicate topic stickied to the top of the forum, okay?

Whoever gets to go, have a great time, and we're looking forward to seeing this on the news.

Praying for a huge crowd, here.....
