"Kerry also picked up support from Wayne D. Langhofer, who told The Washington Post he was manning a machine gun in a boat behind Kerry's and saw firing from both banks of a river as Kerry dived in to rescue Special Forces soldier James Rassmann, the basis for Kerry's Bronze Star."
"Until now, the Post noted on its Web site, Kerry's version of acting under fire had come from crewmen on his own boat. It quoted Langhofer as saying he was approached by leaders of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth several months ago but declined to join them in speaking against Kerry."
the so-called Swift Boat Veterans for "Truth" have not produced a single document which verifies their claims. In fact, their own Navy service records contract them. And, in addition to Navy documents with corroborate Kerry's account, as well as the men who actually served on his boat, we now have others stepping foward who did not serve on his boat who witnessed the events and also corroborate Kerry's account.
