The swift Boats Veterans and their group.   

Heroes and true veterans that are presently and have in the past supported veterans

or is this the "dirty dozen?"

We will look at the background on each of these individuals in the coming months and see what they represent. Anyone that has a sudden urge to appear on television in support of their brother veterans is obviously not shy so we will give them their opportunity to tell us what they have done in other veteran activities and support groups in the past thirty years.

Update November 12,2004 We have a more complete list of veterans that supported or were in the video or traveled around the country  to participate in political rallies. Anyone know how many of these people were proactive veteran activists prior to Election 2004? What VFW post, American Legoion or DAV are they members of?
