XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX SUN APRIL 20, 2003 18:53:04 ET XXXXX KERRY MISSES MASS. SOLDIER'S FUNERAL FOR FUNDRAISERS So why wasn't U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry [D-MA] at last week's funeral of Matthew Boule, 22, the Dracut, Massachusetts native who was the state's first soldier to die in the Iraq war? Kerry, a decorated Vietnam War veteran who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, was in Arizona on Tuesday -- fundraising and campaigning -- the very hour Boule was being buried, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal. Kerry's office did not respond to a request for comment. Boule was a crew chief on a Black Hawk helicopter with the Army's 3rd Infantry Division. He died while fighting in Iraq on April 2. Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, a republican, attended his funeral. Kerry missed the service honoring Boule to speak to the Arizona Democratic Caucus, where he proposed a "Veterans Prescription Drug Reform Act." Life is for the living, as Kerry outlined a plan that could reduce the backlog of veterans waiting to see doctors. ----------------------------------------------------------- Filed By Matt Drudge Reports are moved when circumstances warrant http://www.drudgereportArchives.com for updates (c)DRUDGE REPORT 2003 Not for reproduction without permission of the author |
