Communist Vietnamese Honor John Kerry, the War Protestor, as a Hero in
the Communist Victory over the United States in the Vietnam War.
In the Vietnamese Communist War Remnants Museum (formerly known as the
“War Crimes Museum”) in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), a photograph
of John Kerry hangs in a room dedicated to the anti-war activists who
helped the Vietnamese Communists win the Vietnam War. The photograph shows
then-Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor Kerry being greeted by the General
Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Comrade Do Muoi.
Jeffrey M. Epstein of Vietnam Vets for the Truth acquired the photograph
over the Memorial Day weekend as America was commemorating its military
heroes. Epstein’s organization, Vietnam Vets for the Truth, had issued
a general request last week for photographs documenting Kerry’s activities
on behalf of the enemy. Bob Shirley, a Vietnam Swift Boat veteran (www.pcf45.com),
sent the photograph to Epstein in response to that call. Shirley recently
joined over 200 other Swift Boat veterans in signing an open letter questioning
Kerry’s fitness to serve as Commander-in-Chief.

in Vietnam, July 15-18, 1993. Photo taken in the War Remnants Museum (formerly
the “War Crimes Museum”) in Saigon in May 2004.
Jeff Epstein explains the importance of the photograph:
“This photograph’s unquestionable significance lies in its placement
in the American protestors’ section of the War Crimes Museum in Saigon.
The Vietnamese communists clearly recognize John Kerry’s contributions
to their victory. This find can be compared to the discovery of a painting
of Neville Chamberlain hanging in a place of honor in Hitler’s Eagle’s
Nest in 1945.”

Photographer Bill Lupetti, who is currently visiting Vietnam, took the
photographs in Saigon during his recent visit there. Lupetti, a former
Hospital Corpsman, is also a Swift Boat veteran.

Below the photograph of John Kerry are explanatory placards in English,
French, Vietnamese, and Chinese. The English placard reads:
“Mr. Do Muoi, Secretary General of the Vietnamese Communist Party
met with Congressman and Veterans Delegation in Vietnam (July 15-18, 1993).”
Senator Kerry may argue today that his anti-war protests did not render
support to the enemy in time of war and that his activities did not violate
the definition of treason given in Article III, Section 3, of the US Constitution.
This exhibit paying tribute to Kerry in the War Protestors Hall of the
War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City tells a very different story.
The Vietnamese communists clearly feel that the American anti-war protestors
were a very important force in undermining support in the United States
for American war efforts, a force that contributed materially to ultimate
communist victory in 1975.
On Fox News’ Hannity and Colmes show on Friday, May 28, 2004, Rear Admiral
Roy Hoffman (USN, Retired) accused John Kerry of being a traitor because
of his anti-war activities. This photo, which demonstrates the extent
to which the Vietnamese communists acknowledge that he supported them
during the Vietnam War, corroborates this charge. (Hoffman, the former
commander of the Swift Boat force and one-time Kerry’s superior officer,
is Chairman of Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth (SwiftVets.com).
Vietnam Vets for the Truth (KerryLied.com) was established for the sole
purpose of organizing a rally pointing up Kerry’s lies during the so-called
“Winter Soldier” hearings in the US Senate in 1971. The rally,
appropriately called “Kerry Lied,” will be held on Capitol Hill
on September 12th.
