Stolen Honor: A documentary exposing John Kerry
2004-09-08
In the mid 1960's thousands of young American men left their families, homes and jobs and went to fight for their country in Southeast Asia. These brave men went from their farms, factories and offices to the rice paddies of Vietnam to fight for freedom in what they believed was a patriotic and noble cause. Many of them never returned. Others were shot down and captured behind enemy lines. They were forced to suffer years of brutal treatment at the hands of the Communist captors.
Their horrifying days of darkness, starvation and torture were made worse by the actions of a young American Officer named John Kerry. As these American heroes suffered in inhuman conditions, John Kerry sat comfortably in the warm glow of television lights to tell a Senate Committee that these same men were 'war criminals'.
The story of these valiant POWs is compelling and powerful. Stolen Honor is THEIR story. It's the story the media won't tell you. It's the story John Kerry doesn't want you to hear.
"Stolen Honor" investigates how John Kerry's actions during the Vietnam era impacted the treatment of American soldiers and POWs. Using John Kerry's own words, the documentary juxtaposes John Kerry's actions with the words of veterans who were still in Vietnam when John Kerry was leading the anti-war movement.
NRO's the Corner reports: "17 POWs whose accounts of the effects of his betrayal are depicted in a new documentary, Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal. The former POWs spent between 5 and 8 years in captivity and include two Medal of Honor winners. Each one has been awarded at least one silver star. The 45-minute documentary will be shown tomorrow morning in Washington, following a press conference with former Senate Majority Bob Dole and some of the former POWs. Clips from the documentary are available on the documentary's website, stolenhonor.com."
