US Democrats nominate Kerry for president

Edwards decried the fact that the United States has two health care systems, two education systems and two economies -- one for the very wealthy, the other for most other Americans -- and vowed that if he and Kerry are elected, "we can build one America." In so doing, he laid the foundation to detail Kerry economic and national security proposals, and portray the Massachusetts senator as a man who was tested in war and is ready to lead.

When he concluded, he was joined on the stage by his wife, Elizabeth; his older daughter, Cate; and his two young children, Emma Claire and Jack, as the delegates cheered and swayed to the music of singer Stevie Wonder and later to a performance by Black Eyed Peas.

The Democrats scripted the third day of their convention to highlight Kerry's military service as part of the weeklong effort to introduce their candidate to the country and demonstrate that he is fit to become commander in chief.

In addition to the show of support from his Swift boat crewmates, Kerry was saluted from the podium by retired Army Gen. John M. Shalikashvili, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who said Kerry understands the dangers of the current world "and is fully prepared for the challenges ahead."

Shalikashvili was then joined by a group of retired military officers, including retired Army Gen. Wesley K. Clark, all of whom have endorsed Kerry's candidacy, as the audience waved American flags and chanted "USA, USA."
