1. Well, I am a veteran ...
draft dodger from the Vietnam Era; but I don't think that's what the Kerry website is looking for.

3. Do you Regret Your Choice?
At least you made a choice. I have two friends, one was a Marine in Vietnam the other dodged the draft. But both made a decision based on what they believed.

Unlike our current Vice President who worked the system and had "other
priorities".

14. Yeah, I was at Fort Monroe, Virginia
Right across the James River from the Atlantic Fleet headquarters. I always wondered "If the Commies DO attack, and if they DO get past the 30 or 40 thousand swabbos over there -- what the hell am I supposed to do to stop them?"
John
I mean, I was a radioteletypist -- more concerned with home row keys and clean, freshly-laundered bedsheets than in defeating Communist aggression as such. Fortunately for all of us, I guess they knew I was on duty at the Communications Center and didn't try anything.

12. I'm thinking they want numbers.
Maybe be able to say there are XXX thousand (million?) members of Veterans for Kerry.

11. Here's the e-mail that started this:
(For the very first time in my entire life, I made a campaign donation. Sent a hundred bucks to Kerry. It's a bit of a stretch, but I'm gonna try to send a hundred a month until the election.
trof)

Dear trof,

To be honest, when I first met John Kerry 35 years ago, I was a little skeptical. Here he was a Yale graduate, thinking he could hang in the jungle with a bunch of working class kids. After a few patrols and seeing him under fire, I knew John was more than an officer -- he was a leader. Every day on that swift boat, I put my life in John Kerry's hands. I can tell you from experience, there's nothing like having John Kerry as your commanding officer.

Now, over the past few weeks, John has come under attack and, once again, his old swift boat crews went into the line of fire with him -- and we are honored that you came with us. We are going toe-to-toe with the Bush-Cheney campaign right now, but the attacks that are coming are getting twice as bad. We really need your help.

This campaign has been incredible because of you. All of us out campaigning know what you have done. John has asked his supporters for a lot and I know many of you have given to the campaign. But we need to make this "Miracle in May" happen; not just for my boat skipper, John Kerry but so all Americans can feel what it's like to have a real leader in command.

Please make a secure contribution by visiting:

https://contribute.johnkerry.com

John Kerry has always had unfailing instinct and unchallengeable leadership and the decisions he made 35 years ago saved my life. There is nobody else who I would want as Commander in Chief.

I hope I can count on you in November.

Thank you,

Del Sandusky
PCF 94

P.S. If you're a veteran, John Kerry wants to know and asks you to join Veterans for Kerry right now:

15. While you are at it
You might give me a hand as I am hand to hand with the Veterans against Kerry at http://forums.military.com/1/OpenTopic?a=frm&s=78919038&f=4261919476 and am sorely outnumbered.

You will have to register to enter the fray but voices of sanity are needed here as these idiots are converting the troops with their horse crap.

Thanks!
