Seems like every time I read a story about John Kerry, especially those that talk about how the White House will try to characterize him in the general election (label him a “Massachusetts liberal,” etc.), there’s a line about how Kerry can counteract it because he’s “surrounded by veterans and firefighters.” Veterans I get, but why fire fighters? What’s the relationship?
Well what do you know? They have a website! http://www.firefightersforkerry.com
Apparently Kerry has been very supportive of fire fighters during his career. This page outlines his record.
