"In Defense of My Brother John"

The Boston Globe today printed the letter below from John Kerry's sister, Diana. Diana has been working hard with Americans Overseas for Kerry to win the votes of the several million Americans who live overseas.




In defense of my brother John
Boston Globe
August 28, 2004

My brother, John Kerry, decided to volunteer to put his life on the line to serve his country in Vietnam. A lot of guys dodged service, but not my brother John. As Bill Clinton pointed out not long ago, when push came to shove, a lot of young men found other alternatives, but not my brother John. He volunteered for service and he went to Vietnam, and by every official US Navy account, he acquitted himself heroically.

I watched my brother put his life on the line in service to our country as so many sisters and brothers, parents, and other family members are doing today with loved ones in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere. I am really mad that anyone dares question any soldier's service, particularly my brother's outstanding record in Vietnam.

Moreover, these vicious attacks are diverting attention from the critical issues affecting Americans today: a lackluster economy, a health-care system in deep crisis, serious national security concerns, the ongoing instability in Iraq, and so on.

It's time to focus on the present and the future, rather than on events that happened well over 30 years ago. Senator John McCain has called these attacks dishonest and dishonorable. Why won't George Bush do the same?
