FILES-US-CAMPAIGN-KERRY
(FILES)Democratic presidential candidate and US Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts addresses a group of veterans on the campus of Marshall University 16 March, 2004 in Huntington, West Virginia. Four ex-soldiers who range in age from 54 to 71 sat down amid a dozen veterans to talk with an AFP correspondent just outside Washington in April 2004, to explain why they are marching in step behind Kerry-s presidential campaign. "I remember hearing about a young navy guy who was going to run for Congress," Jan Barry reminisced of Kerry, adding: "He made a big impression on people." Barry is the co-founder of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), for which John Kerry served as a spokesman in 1971 after a tour of duty as a Navy swift-boat commander in the southeast Asian war. "He spoke very well and was on target on issues we cared about. He felt very strongly, I admired him for it," Barry, 61, said of Kerry whom he met during the Vietnam era. AFP PHOTO/Jeff HAYNES
