A veteran of the United States Navy who served in the same division with John Kerry is speaking out against an anti-Kerry television commercial.
In it, members of The Swift Boat Veterans For Truth claim Kerry lied about his record, and used dishonesty to get his purple heart and bronze star awards.
Richard Trussoni disagrees. "I think it's bull," he said.
"I know the guys that served on his boat support him 100 percent, and I do too."
Trusonni plans on sending a letter against the commercial to newspapers in Minnesota and Wisconsin. He's hoping his efforts aren't in vain as his comrade takes aim at the ultimate post of American leadership: The White House.
