“Our nation’s veterans put their lives on the line for our country and earned these health benefits."
John Kerry's Veteran Brigade, making phone calls, knocking on doors, reaching out to other veterans, was helpful in the grassroots politics of Iowa. Senator Kerry was very comfortable among the many veterans at the VFW, talking with them and thanking them for their service to our country. After the event, John Kerry and Iowa Rep. Leonard Boswell joined Post Commander John Feller in the singing of God Bless America.
