Update: <font size=4>Some Mudville readers might recognize Paul Galanti in the commercial above. For those who don't, meet a true American hero:
<font color=green>
Paul Galanti learned of Kerry's speech while held captive inside North Vietnam's infamous <font color=blue>"Hanoi Hilton"<font color=green> internment camp. The Navy pilot had been shot down in June 1966 and spent nearly seven years as a prisoner of war.
During torture sessions, he said, his captors cited the antiwar speeches as <font color=blue>"an example of why we should cross over to (their) side."
<font color=red>
"The Viet Cong didn't think they had to win the war on the battlefield," <font color=green>Galanti said, <font color=red>"because thanks to these protesters they were going to win it on the streets of San Francisco and Washington."
<font color=green>
He says Kerry broke a covenant among servicemen never to make public criticisms that might jeopardize those still in battle or in the hands of the enemy. Because he did, Galanti said, <font color=red>"John Kerry was a traitor to the men he served with."
<font color=black>
Now retired and living in Richmond, Va., Galanti, 64, refuses to cool his ire toward Kerry. <font color=red>"I don't plan to set it aside. I don't know anyone who does,"<font color=black> he said. <font color=red>"The Vietnam Memorial has thousands of additional names due to John Kerry and others like him."<font color=black>
Oh, and once again, the <font color=blue>"Republican attack squad" <font color=black>has a McCain tie-in:
During the 2000 presidential primaries, Galanti was the Virginia Chair of Senator John McCain's presidential bid. <font color=red>"John is the only guy I know who is more positive than I am,"<font color=black> says Galanti. <font color=red>"He did quite well in Virginia especially considering that the campaign was composed of an all-volunteer Army of political non-professionals"!
<font color=black>
Galanti's military decorations include the Silver Star, Two Legions of Merit for combat, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Bronze Star for combat, nine Air Medals, the Navy Commendation Medal for combat and two Purple Hearts.
