Roy Hoffmann
Rear Admiral Roy F. "Latch" Hoffmann, U.S. Navy (retired) is Chairman of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, established May 4, 2004, in opposition to John Kerry's candidacy for U.S. President. He is not to be confused with Southern writer Roy Hoffman, the author of Almost Family and Chicken Dreaming Corn.
According to the Washington Post, Admiral Hoffman "saw his honor under attack, and took the fight to the Kerry camp."
According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, after Hoffmann retired from the Navy, he spent "eight years in Milwaukee as the port director before being unceremoniously dumped in 1986." A Milwaukee alderman was quoted as saying "He was given the choice of leaving with grace or he would be fired."
