"If we are judged by the company we keep, I would prefer the 'Band of Brothers,'" said Pat Waak, Colorado Democratic Party Chair. "My father is a World War II vet; my husband and brother are Viet Nam War veterans, and my nephew is an Iraqi war vet. I consider them heroes. They would never consider being associated with the Minutemen."
