PORTLAND — Vietnam veteran Terry Kirsch fought in the streets of Saigon in 1968, was wounded twice and earned a pair of Purple Heart medals.

He said his experiences led him to stand up for a fellow veteran, Sen. John Kerry, who has been criticized in television ads for exaggerating his war experiences for political gain.

On Monday, Kirsch was one of several other veterans who gathered on the Clackamas County Courthouse steps to call for one of Kerry’s accusers to recant the statements that he made in a prominent attack ad.

The veterans want Alfred French, a 20-year employee of the Clackamas County district attorney’s office, to resign from his job for having appeared in an ad sponsored by the group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
