From Collegiate Presswire's RadioWire (https://www.cpwire.com/radio): Radio Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a non-partisan group representing more than 300-hundred swift boat veterans who served with senator John Kerry in Vietnam, has announced the launch of an advertising campaign which it says answers the Senator�s call for truth. Swift boat veterans Shelton White: "Well, it was actually the TV ad that got the press interested. For 35 years the press hasn�t been interested in our story and with this television ad now they�re starting to pay attention." Although the group includes most of the men who were on the missions in which Kerry received his medals, one criticism often heard is they weren�t actually on his boat. Van Odell: "Decided we were not on his boat is not to understand swift boats and they don�t, these were very small boats, we�d run along each other, we�d could talk to each other from one to another. Just to think to say that we didn�t serve with John Kerry cause we weren�t on his boat is like saying that Captain Benteen and Captain Reno could not talk about the Battle of Little Big Horn or didn�t serve with George Armstrong Custer because they all weren�t on the same horse."
