Veterans of Foreign Wars PAC Endorses Senator George Allen

This morning, Senator George Allen received the endorsement of the Veterans of Foreign Wars PAC. This non-partisan group represents thousands of veterans throughout the country, and their endorsement is based on a careful consideration of each candidate's record of acheivement and their support for veterans.

With James Webb being a former Marine, and former Secretary of the Navy, I'm certain he received serious consideration from this organization. But after looking at Webb and Allen, and weighing their impact on both Veterans affairs and national security, they have endorsed our current Senator, George Allen.

Jerry Peterson of Virginia made the presentation at the Manassas Airport. His endorsement speech listed the many things Allen has done which earned him this prestigious endorsement:

* increased funding for Veterans affairs, to care for our injured troops
* increased the education benefits for our veterans
* restored funding for the Veteran's brain injury center
* brought jobs to Virginia by funding military construction
* increased job opportunity for veterans

He closed with this statement:

"Virginia Veterans have no better friend than Senator Allen"

Here's a picture of the Allen receiving the endorsement:

Following that presentation, Allen also received a second endorsement, which I will post later.
