"Yet, over the past few years, when you have tuned your television to the news, you were likely to see people like me on CNN or MSNBC -- a 20-something veteran of Iraq, representing thousands of veterans who were critical of how the war was being waged. Or, maybe you saw another young veteran speaking out in favor of a surge of more troops, or another who represents veterans who want to get out of all conflicts. John Kerry changed the game forever, and every vocal veteran leader -- regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum -- owes him a debt of gratitude, because without his testimony to the Fulbright Committee in 1971, we likely would not have as much public and media attention as we have today."

This opinion piece puts fame and legacy into perspective for me and makes it obvious why Senator Kerry is a special and unique politician.

4. Me too. :) I was really moved by them and bet he'd be as well!

Always so nice to see the Senator get the kind of recognition he deserves. I posted this on my blog, too. :)
