Finished Tour of Duty, wow Kerry is amazing
What an incredible guy Kerry really is. BTW does anyone know what Admiral Zemault thought of Kerry? I found that my dad's friend's father was a friend of the admiral.

3. Interesting reading
I spent a good part of my weekend reviewing the military records of John Kerry and *. The naval message traffic related to the swift boat campaigns contains several "attaboys" from Admiral Zumwalt for the people in his task unit. What is clear from these is that the swift boat sailors were doing a dangerous and difficult job and getting shot at daily, not just on the few days John Kerry earned medals.
