As I said, Veterans groups are getting organized. This event is being organized by:
Larry Bailey, CAPT, USN (Ret.)

<i.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”

What: A peaceful remembrance of those with whom we
served in Vietnam - those who lived and those who died.
We will tell the story of their virtues and how that contrasts with the lies told by John Kerry.

When: Sunday, Sept. 12, 2004 @ 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM EDT

Where: The West Front of the U.S. Capitol Building, Washington, DC

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 Kerry’s 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 money to do this. If you can, send $100; if not, anything will be appreciated. Make
checks payable to “Vietnam Vets for the Truth” and send to PO Box 49, Mt. Vernon, VA 22121. If you
can’t donate, don’t let that stop you from joining your brothers and sisters at the rally. We need you now!

OT

I really appreciate it when you add "a must read" or "exremely important read" in your opening comment. It's really hard to read everything posted on this very busy thread. Those words clue me in and force me to pay attention.

Thanks,
