This past weekend, I was given the great opportunity to address another group of veteran’s, this time the Jewish War Veterans (JWV), and talk about our military.

Thank you brave Soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division for your dedication to our nation and willing support to those in need in Haiti. It always amazes me to see our young men and women ready in a few hours notice to leave there home and deploy to a foreign nation willing to support our neighbors and help the fallen. Working long days and sleeping in the open or in small tents, they show a tremendous positive attitude that things will get better and that our nation is here to support them. As...read more
