The Kerry campaign ratcheted up its defense of the Democrat's military
record yesterday, producing three veterans to attest to John F.
Kerry's valor in Vietnam while pointing reporters to other veterans
who expressed disgust at the attacks on the presidential nominee.
In a conference call with reporters arranged by the campaign, three
Navy Swift boat officers who served with Kerry 35 years ago but who
said they have not been in touch with him for years defended his
service and his bravery. Rich McCann, Jim Russell and Rich Baker said
Kerry served honorably and took issue with questions raised by the
group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth about his commendations.
