"...just one moment, one explosion, or one bullet separates Veterans Day from Memorial Day." -- Pete Hegseth, VetsForFreedom.org
"If we and our posterity...live always in the fear of God and shall respect His Commandments...we may have the highest hopes of the future fortunes of our country....But if we...neglect religious instruction and authority; violate the rules of eternal justice, trifle with the injunctions of morality, and recklessly destroy the constitution which holds us together, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity." -- Daniel Webster, addressing the New York Historical Society, 1852.
"Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature." -- Benjamin Franklin
"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars to be treated and appreciated by their nation." - George Washington
"Any nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure." - Abraham Lincoln
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - George Santayana
"I think the best way of doing good to the poor is not making them easy in poverty, but leading them or driving them out of it" -- Benjamin Franklin
"To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers have acquired too much, in order to spare to others who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equaled industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, 'to guarantee to everyone of a free exercise of his industry, and the fruits acquired by it.'" - Thomas Jefferson
"The utopian schemes of leveling [redistribution of wealth], and a community of goods, are as visionary and impracticable as those which vest all property in the Crown. [These ideas] are arbitrary, despotic, and, in our government, unconstitutional." --Samuel Adams
"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they COULD and SHOULD do for themselves." -- Abraham Lincoln

Read War On The Rivers, a Swiftboat Sailor's Chronicle of the Battle for the Mekong Delta -- a factual and technically correct description that captures this part of the "dirty little war" in a magnificent way that truly tells the story of the "Swifties" -- Lt J. E. Howard, USN (ret), excerpted from Military magazine. Read the Rear Admiral Roy F. Hoffmann Story This Is Latch to learn about their decorated leader, whose career and service to his nation began during World War II and was not completed until, coming out of retirement, he organized the "Swift Boat Veterans and POWs for Truth" during the 2004 Presidential campaign to expose John Kerry as "Unfit For Command". Be sure to visit The Admiral Roy F. Hoffmann Foundation The Admiral Roy F. Hoffmann Foundation was initially funded from John O’Neill’s share of the royalties from his 2004 best selling book, "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry". Mr. O’Neill was entitled to receive nearly $1 million from his co-authorship of the book. He assigned all rights and control of the royalties to endow a foundation to honor Rear Admiral Roy F. Hoffmann, USN, Ret., for his leadership of Task Force 115 in Vietnam (Market Time/Sea Lords forces which included Swift boats); and for his founding and leadership of Swift Boat Veterans and POWs for Truth. The Foundation has awarded $3,169,432 in grants through June 2008; of that amount 402 awards totaling $3,117,432 have gone primarily to severely wounded warriors and their families. Grants generally range from $4,000 to $12,000 (for the most severely wounded). The average grant is more than $7,750. |

Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry (Hardcover) by John E. O'Neill "We came within 59,000 votes of setting this country on a better track..." John Kerry, recalling how he lost the 2004 Presidential election. No, John, there are 58,256 names listed on the Vietnam Memorial who would disagree and find you to be "Unfit For Command". "Today, Senator Kerry appeals to veterans in his quest for the White House. He invokes his Vietnam service at every turn. But an honest, enterprising reporter should ask Senator Kerry this: Were you lying in 1971, or are you lying now?" -- Mackubin Thomas Owens, military historian Get a FREE Copy of the Epilogue! |

 I've noticed that even reputable journalists contend that the assertions made by Senator Kerry's former Swiftboat comrades and those made by a group of former Prisoners of War have all been discredited and debunked as "vicious lies" and "smears", but having read both "Unfit For Command" and "To Set The Record Straight" thoroughly and followed up with my own independent research in "Tour of Duty" and other pro-Kery publications, I find the vast majority of assertions against Senator Kerry to be true and substantiated with unimpeachable documentation, witness statements, and official government records. In fact, during my research, I found a number of inconsistencies in the pro-Kerry books, some of which have had to be corrected. I actually flew missions over Cambodia in 1973, when it was authorized to do so, but in December 1968, at the time Senator Kerry says he spent Christmas in Cambodia being fired upon by South Vietnamese soldiers celebrating Christmas on guard duty, even inadvertent incursions into Cambodia were illegal and were prevented by patrol boats on the rivers and canals all along the South Vietnam/Cambodia border. Further, Senator Kerry could not possibly have been delivering food and ammunition and other supplies to the Khmer Rouge because they were virtually nonexistent in 1968, and they were Communist Guerrillas on the side of the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong. Further, President Nixon couldn't have ordered him to enter Cambodia because Richard Nixon had not yet taken office. Such manufactured events "seared" into Senator Kerry's memory should trouble you as much as they trouble me regarding Senator Kerry's honesty and his judgment. The same holds true for Kerry's version of the "No Man Left Behind" Incident on the Bay Hap River, which the undisputed facts show actually occurred as the Swiftvets described and not the way Senator Kerry wrote up the encounter in his official after action report and in his diary. If John Kerry intentionally misrepresented his activities in order to "embelish" his war record, shame on him for lying. If he actually believed they were true the way he wrote them up and as he entered them into his own diary, he has serious mental or psychological deficiencies and needs therapy. Either way, John Kerry was then and will always be Unfit For Command. |

Read Democracy Project Contributing Writer Bruce Kesler's review, where The Inside Story Of The SwiftBoaters Is Finally Told To Set The Record Straight How Swift Boat Veterans, POWs and the New Media Defeated John Kerry by Scott Swett and Tim Ziegler Sen. John Kerry's 2004 presidential bid became the catalyst for an unprecedented political movement by Vietnam veterans who had long resented his false 1971 testimony that U.S. troops were routinely committing war crimes. Despite the best efforts of the Democratic Party and its media affiliates, they succeeded in reaching out to the public and turning the presidential campaign upside down. Here, for the first time, is the complete story of how - and why - they did it. Free Download: CHAPTER 13: Rather's Ruin and the Rise of the Pajamahadeen. Authors...Release Chapter to Counter Kerry Claims July 2, 2008 -- We have become weary of "Swiftboating" references by leftist political operatives and members of the media eager to pretend that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth failed to make their case against John Kerry. Accordingly, we have released a second chapter online that details how the Swift Vets successfully discredited the Kerry campaign's heroic "No Man Left Behind" story. We also take the investigation further by interviewing key participants in that mission who were not heard from in 2004.
