Yes, the evidence is now in. Some of those who knew Kerry best in Vietnam honored him for his loyal support and brave service long before the current Presidential campaign. In fact, this band of Kerry's war brothers from Vietnam were so touched by his courage and service that they honored Kerry in a special war museum.
There's only one problem: this band of brothers came from NORTH Vietnam. The Communists that we were fighting have honored Kerry, while most of his American peers insist that he is unfit for duty.
