Kerry Can Be Proud Of His Military Service: Bush

CRAWFORD, Texas, Aug 23 (AFP) - John Kerry can be proud of his record as a decorated Vietnam War veteran, US President Bush said Monday, as controversy continued to swirl over attacks against the Democratic presidential candidate's military record by a pro-Bush veterans' group.
"John Kerry served actively and ought to be proud of his record," Bush told reporters at a press conference after a meeting of his top military and defense aides at his Texas ranch.
