Vietnam Veterans To Rally Against Kerry
2004-09-07
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
A gathering of Vietnam veterans from across America
Where: Upper Senate Park, Washington, D.C. It is easy to get to, shady and pretty, with a great view of the Capitol dome in back of the speaker's platform. THIS IS A NEW LOCATION AS OF 7/17/04

When: Sunday, Sept 12, 2004 2:00-4:00 PM (EDT)

Why: To tell the truth about Vietnam veterans.
To counter the lies told about Vietnam veterans by John Kerry

All Vietnam veterans and their families and supporters are asked to attend. Other veterans are invited as honored guests. This will be a peaceful event--no shouting 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.

B.G. "Jug" Burkett, author of "Stolen Valor," will be one of our speakers. Jug has debunked countless impostors who falsely claimed to be Vietnam veterans or who falsely claimed awards for heroism. Jug recommends that we refrain from dragging fatigues out of mothballs. Dress like America, like you do every day. Dress code: business casual, nice slacks, and shirt and shoes. No uniform remnants, please. Unit hats OK.

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 be controlled in an attempt to stay on-message. Speakers are encouraged not to engage in speculative criticism of John Kerry but (1) to stick to known and undisputed facts about John Kerrys lies while (2) reminding America of the true honor and courage of our brothers in battle in Vietnam.

Send this announcement to 10 or more of your brothers! Bring them by car, bus, train or plane! 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 a lot of money to do this. If you can, please donate.
Make checks payable to Vietnam Vets for the Truth and send to PO Box 49, Mt. Vernon, VA 22121. Or use the PayPal "Make a Donation" button on the web site. If you can't donate, don't let that stop you from joining your brothers and sisters at the rally. We need you now!

#5  CSPAN could cover it by looking out their window - but I would still wonder if they will.

Back when there was only one Senate Office Building, Will Rogers liked to remind people that addressing a letter to your Senator, SOB, Washington DC would get it there with no problem.

#2  Upper Senate Park is just north of the Capitol, near the Russell Senate Office Building (which does indeed make a nice acyronym).

It isn't as easy to get to, shady and pretty as it was a few years ago because there has been a lot of construction in the vicinity on the south side of Constitution Ave.
