DEMOCRATIC VETERANS CHAIR BOB KRAUSE JOINS OTHER PROMINENT IOWA VETS IN ENDORSING CHRIS DODD FOR PRESIDENT
Krause: “I Trust Him More Than Any Other Candidate to Lead the Nation When the Unexpected Occurs.”
DES MOINES – Calling Chris Dodd the candidate who will get results for America’s veterans and provide the leadership to restore American security and standing in the world, Iowa Democratic Veteran’s Caucus Chair Bob Krause today personally endorsed Dodd for President. Krause joins prominent Iowa Democratic veterans Al Flyr, John Feller, and Joe Hays, as well as Iraq War veteran and State Representative Ray Zirkelbach, in supporting Dodd’s campaign.
“While we do have an excellent field of candidates, I'm caucusing for Chris Dodd because I trust him more than any other candidate to lead the nation when the unexpected occurs and to deliver results for his fellow veterans,” said Krause.
“As a 28-year veteran of the Army Reserves, I know we need a Commander-in-Chief who is ready to take on the job from Day One. Chris Dodd is the only major Democratic candidate who has served in the military, and he’s spent the last 26 years on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. I know that he will provide the leadership to restore America's security and good name around the world, as well as produce results on our challenges at home.”
Dodd praised Krause’s service on behalf of veterans.
“Bob Krause is a leading voice for veterans’ issues in Iowa, and he has been a tireless advocate on behalf of veterans within the Democratic Party,” said Dodd. “As a fellow veteran, I am honored and humbled to have his support. As President, I will ensure that we never forget the debt we owe to those who have served our country, and I’m proud to have earned Bob’s trust and his endorsement.”
Dodd served in the U.S. Army Reserves and Army National Guard from 1969 to 1975.
In addition, Dodd has received the endorsements of prominent Democratic veteran John Feller. Feller served in World War II and the Korean War, now serves as Membership Chair for Des Moines VFW Post 9127, and was a State Co-Chair of Veterans for Kerry in 2004.
