Reply #3: July 1993

[sandnsea]

Here's a distorted story, but it's got the facts just the same. The picture was taken during this visit. This was a thankless project that Kerry took on for those very vets who are slandering him. They've got a conspiracy theory cover up thing going on. That's what those other two links on McCain were about too. They're flat out nuts. Anyway, the picture is hung in the Vietnam War Remnants Museum. That's all I know for sure about that part of it.

"The AP reported July 17, 1993, a U.S. delegation headed by Deputy Secretary of Veterans Affairs Hershel Gober was sent to Vietnam by President Clinton to deliver to the Vietnamese microfilm of some 3 million captured Vietnam War documents related to finding American POWs and MIAs. The story says the delegation was scheduled to meet with Do Muoi.

While the story does not mention Kerry, a White House press release July 2, 1993, mentioned Kerry and the "high-level delegation," which included represenatives of three major veterans groups."
