If you want to know about John Kerry's values, ask the men who served with him in Vietnam, ... He put his life on the line for them every day -- seven days a week, 24 hours a day. They trusted him. They believed in him. They trust and believe in him today.

This was an organization of men who risked their lives in Vietnam, who considered themselves totally patriotic.

I do not believe that the men who served in uniform in Vietnam have been given the credit they deserve. It was a difficult war against an unorthodox enemy.

The brave men who died in Vietnam, more than 100% of which were black, were the ultimate sacrifice.

I deplore this kind of politics. I think the ad is dishonest and dishonorable. As it is, none of these individuals served on the boat (Kerry) commanded. Many of his crew have testified to his courage under fire. I think John Kerry served honorably in Vietnam.

During the Vietnam War, any young men -- including the current president, the vice president and me -- could have gone to Vietnam but didn't. John Kerry came from a privileged background and could have avoided it, too. Instead he said, 'Send me.'
