The commandant of a military school I was attending at the close of WWII admonished us with a venerable truth, "What you are to be you are now becoming."

John Kerry has become what he was becoming in the early 70's when, for desired political advantage, he chose to lie before Congress about most sacred matters.

I am somewhat biased here, due mainly to my experiences as an officer in the US Army in Korea in the early '50's. But most officers I know absorbed much of the meaning of the old hackneyed expression - Duty, Honor, Country. These concepts were rejected by Kerry. His post-active duty actions, including taking tea with the Vietcong "peace" negotiators in Paris brushed perilously close to frank treason.

The idea of his ascending to the Presidency of the United States is unthinkable.

Thank you for your gallant efforts to keep this from happening.

Thankyou for your Service to our Nation! The likes of Kerry may have forgotten "Duty, Honor, Country", fortunately there are many more such as yourself, the Swift Boat Vets and a whole new generation of selfless men and woman out there now.
