people boat john-kerry
You've got people who didn't serve with John Kerry saying they did serve with John Kerry in the boat. With George Bush, we can't find anybody who did serve with him.

Her life was saved initially by a 20-year old Mexican-American gay college student, and eventually by a Korean-American combat surgeon, all eulogized by our African American President.
numbers organization causes
There is always strength in numbers. The more individuals or organizations that you can rally to your cause, the better.
