- No wonder Kerry left quickly from his speech. He obviously needed to change quickly. The Kerrys look great.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. And, I agree, the Kerry' look great-especially Teresa.

I saw them once in the opening camera pan and then at least once later when Garth Brooks was singing Goodnight Saigon during the Billy Joel tribute. When the chorus began (And we would all go down together, we said we'd all go down together) and the lights revealed that it was being sung by a group of Vietnam Era veterans, the camera found JK who looked very moved. A beautiful moment.

Edited to add that you can watch that last bit here (until it's possibly taken down!):

Start watching at 2:55 for the vets and for JK/THK at 3:13.
