Kerry speaks to Veteran convention, followed by Rummy and Condi
Here is an excerpt:
Kicking off a busy week, Kerry swung through San Antonio this morning, where he met with Texas veterans before addressing the VFW convention.

As the only candidate running for President from either party who's a combat veteran, John Kerry can talk about supporting our veterans and keeping our military strong and safe from the unique perspective of someone who has actually worn the uniform into battle:

"I believe our veterans have fought enough and they shouldn't have to fight, year after year, for the benefits they have already earned," said Kerry. "Our veterans health care shouldn't depend on the yearly whims of budget cutters. They've earned their benefits. Those benefits ought to be there. And if I am President, they will be."

Read the entire press release here. It's got Kerry's plans for a new compact with America's veterans, and how he will keep our troops safe as they defend America abroad.
