On Monday, veterans in Colorado and Virginia spoke out in support of Senator Obama, his stance on veterans. In Denver, a group of veterans gathered at the Colorado Veterans Monument.
From PolitickerCO:
"I think it's time to set the record straight and to let everybody know that veterans are overwhelmingly supporting Sen. Obama," said former Army Ranger Jason Crow. "We think that Sen. Obama has the right plan for veterans and for national security."
Adam Cooper was on hand in Arlington, Virginia, where a number of decorated military veterans publicly announced their support for Barack Obama yesterday.
Brig. Gen. David McGinnis (Ret.) announces his support for Obama in Arlington yesterday.
Adm. David R. Oliver Jr., U.S. Navy (Ret.), who served in Iraq, called for a break from the politics and policies of the Bush presidency:
If you think we need to make a change, if you think it's time for our men and women to come home from Iraq, time to finish the job against al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and time to re-establish American leadership by strengthening our alliances and engaging in tough, principled diplomacy, then vote for Barack Obama when you step in the booth in November.
As a veteran and military leader whose first priority is America's security, that's what I'm going to do.
