SwiftVets Launch Second Phase of Advertising Campaign

New Round of Television Ads Debuts in Selected Markets


August 20, 2004 - Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a non-partisan group
representing more than 250 Swift Boat veterans who served with Senator John
Kerry in Vietnam, announced the second phase of a grassroots and paid media
campaign to tell the truth about John Kerry?s military service record and
his treatment of fellow Vietnam veterans when he returned home from his
brief tour of duty.

This phase centers on a new commercial, available for viewing at
SwiftVets.com.

The latest Swift Boat ad focuses on Kerry?s verbal attacks on many of his
shipmates by featuring actual testimony from Kerry to the US Senate in 1971
and the reaction from his former Vietnam War comrades.

"When John Kerry returned to this country after his highly abbreviated
tour of duty in Vietnam, he disgraced his uniform, he insulted his shipmates
and fellow veterans and he greatly aided the enemy's ability to torture and
humiliate American prisoners of war," said Admiral Roy Hoffmann, founder and
chairman of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. "What John Kerry did made Jane
Fonda look like a Red Cross volunteer. It was terribly demoralizing,? he
continued.

?American POWs and veterans felt betrayed by Senator Kerry?s remarks about
the soldiers serving in Vietnam,? said John O?Neill, author of Unfit for
Command. ?Many veterans have contacted us and are coalescing for this
campaign,? he continued.

One of the veterans featured in the ad is Mr. Paul Galanti who served as
chairman of the John McCain campaign in Virginia and was active in the
organization ?Veterans for Mark Warner,? Virginia?s current Democratic
Governor.

The advertising buy will be more than $600,000 and the spots will be
broadcast in three states where Kerry has touted his military service. Ads
will start running on television stations on Tuesday of next week.

Media is asked to direct queries to media@swiftvets.com. Send feedback for
Swift veterans to latch@swiftvets.com, and web site questions to
admin@swiftvets.com.

Thank you for your interest in Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

Sincerely,
Thomas C. Wyld

[snip stuff that has -----all to do with Jeeps]

My little town closes down Main Street and runs a street fair on the third
Thursday of each summer month. This last time I was button holed by 4
religious proselytizers and by 4 political proselytizers. It was like
being swarmed by rats, big, smiling rats with leaflets.

Ya know, I loathed being subjected to it there and I don't need it here,
either.
