OFA to Announce that July is Veterans for Obama Month
DES MOINES - Tomorrow, Congressman Bruce Braley will host a conference call to announce the Veterans & Military Families for Obama Steering Committee. Two members of the Committee Marc Wallace from Des Moines and Sarah Petersen from Sioux City will join Rep. Braley on the call.
The President knows that sacred trust with those who serve and protect our nation. It's a commitment that begins at enlistment, and it must never end -- we owe our veterans and their families the care they were promised and the benefits they have earned.
The Steering Committee will engage fellow veterans across the state about the importance of this next election. They will help lay out the choice between President Obama and Mitt Romney's plans and what they really mean for veterans and their families.
Members of the committee come from: Ames, Belmond, Cedar Falls, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Dubuque, Lu Verne, New Vienna, Riverside, Salem, Sheffield and Sioux City.
