"I Think We're Gonna Get It !"

For those who may have missed Imus In The Morning today, here are the developments on the campaign for Liberator status for the 94th that occurred during today's show.

Craig Crawford appeared first and mentioned a few of the developments on the campaign in the midst of talking about his efforts to quite smoking. Senator Kerry followed as a guest.

As most of you know, Imus continues to work tirelessly for our vets to receive the proper health care they deserve.

This morning he was speaking to Sen. Kerry about "a situation at the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Philadelphia in which 92 of 116 prostate cancer procedures that were performed by one doctor in particular, and apparently a couple of others which were screwed up by the doctor and in handling by the VA hospital"

Sen. Kerry replied " I've missed that , I've not seen that study, but I'll grab it, I'll will get that after this show.

Imus said, "You see, we need someone like you to look into it cause you'll actually do it."

Sen. Kerry replied, "Well, I will look into it and incidentally I'm doing my homework, we're working with the United States Center for US Military History on the Liberation status for the 94th Infantry division and I think we're going to get it"

Imus- "I know, I spoke with Craig Crawford earlier this morning and he said that you and Sen. Kennedy both actually followed up on that" then joshingly said "I said even though Sen. Kerry is wrong about almost everything he should still be president because he actually will do what he says he's going to do."

We agree wholeheartedly with Imus that Sen. Kerry does do what he says he is going to do, and that he and Senator Kennedy are exemplary advocates of our veterans while Craig Craword keeps the issue before the public. Thank you Sen. Kerry, Imus and Craig Crawford for your continued support and efforts to see that the soldiers of the 94th receive the honor long due them.

The Imus In The Morning show tomorrow, June 24, will feature appearances by Congressional Quarterly Columnist, Craig Crawford, and Senator John Kerry. Senator Kerry along with Senator Kennedy has been one of the forces behind gaining liberator status for the 94th Infantry while Mr. Crawford has brought the issue to the public through his column.

If you would like to Listen live on line tune to WABC from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM East Coast Time.

Dream Team = Kennedy - Kerry - Imus - Crawford

In an appearance on Imus in the morning, Senator John Kerry used the phrase "I'm on it!" for assisting with the Liberator Status for the 94th Infantry. Prior to his appearance, Craig Crawford of Congressional Quarterly laid out the whole campaign for Don Imus on the popular syndicated show.

Now Senator Kerry's office has contacted Kathleen Cowley. Senator Kerry is coordinating the next appropriate actions with Senator Kennedy's office. Once more is known it will appear here. Let us hope it is possible to make this happen before Memorial Day. Any and all encouragement and kind words to Senators Kerry and Kennedy would be deeply appreciated.

THANK YOU GENTLEMEN

Comments from Kathleen Cowley

Liberator status for Patton's Boston Regiment made it on the airways today thanks to one of the nation's finest political journalists, Craig Crawford. He came on air and immediately told Imus "I've got a cause for you!" and went on to explain the unjust treatment of the 94th. He ended with an enthusiastic shout "Liberator status for Patton's Boston's Regiment!"

Imus graciously took up the cause and spoke with Sen. Kerry about it during his appearance. He went a step further and said that he would speak to Doug Brinkley. as well. Sen Kerry came on the air exclaiming Craig's phrase "Liberator status for Patton's Boston Regiment!" He told Imus that would most definitely look into it.

What a great debut. Don Imus. who among his other philanthropic efforts brought the Intrepid Soldiers Fund to national interest and raised millions of dollars. His support for a cause moves mountains.

Sen. Kerry is a long time advocate for Vets. His efficient staff contacted me shortly after the show and they are already working on the project.

Last but certainly not least, the ongoing and unwavering support of Sen. Kennedy, he and his staff's determination and resolve so that the 94th will receive Liberation status.

I thank you all from the bottom of my hearl for your efforts to put history to rights, so the efforts of the 94th Infantry Division and the victims of the Holocaust will be forever remembered.
