9/13/2004
Response to Swift Boat Vets

Peaceful protest at the residence of John O’Neill,
Co-author of Unfit for Command.


Saturday, September 18, 2004
10:00 am - Noon


2208 Devonshire, Houston, Texas
(Near the corner or Kingston and Devonshire
Off Westheimer, between Shepherd and Kirby)


Veterans and military families respond to the attacks on the military record of John Kerry and ALL U.S. veterans.

O’Neill’s charges against John Kerry’s Viet Nam service are proven lies, discredited in the media by the men who served with Kerry, yet the slander continues to discredit the military service of all Veterans and impede our chances for a fair election.

SUPPORT Veterans’ rights. STOP the slashing of Veterans’ benefits and services. RESTORE honor to awards for the bravery and sacrifices made in service to our country.

STAND with us in solidarity for a positive change in November.

Sponsored by Gulf Coast Truth to Power, Bay Area New Democrats, Galveston Peace Action Network, Texas Janes, and other concerned citizens.
