Kerry grew up in an upper middle-class background. There's definitely a contrast with Bush and Clinton, who both used connections to get out of going to Vietnam, and it says something about Kerry, that he volunteered to go fight in a war that most in his generation were trying their hardest to get out of. And cheers to him for sharing the stage Tuesday night with his fellow veterans, especially Max Cleland.
