The goal of the VVLF is to set the record straight after three decades' worth of distorted media reports that painted the war as "illegal" and U.S. soldiers as war criminals - instead of as a "noble cause" that was a key part of America's long twilight struggle against Communism, as President Reagan once described Vietnam.

"Radical leftists such as Jane Fonda lied about the war 35 years ago, and are still lying about it today," Col. Day said in a press release issued by the group.

Col. Day is a Medal of Honor recipient and former POW who served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam, and is the Air Force's most highly decorated combat veteran.

The VVLF Board of Directors also includes Col. Kenneth W. Cordier and Cdr. Paul Galanti, both prominent members of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (now Swift Vets and POWs for Truth), the Honorable James Warner, Mary Jane McManus, wife of former POW Kevin McManus, and Vietnam veterans Robert A. McMahon and Wallace Nunn, who is chairman of the Medal of Honor Foundation.
