“Al Franken can stand on a record that goes back several years of having supported veterans and active members of the military. He's spoken out on the treatment of our soldiers at military hospitals, the need for better body armor and better armored vehicles, the rapidly growing incidence of PTSD in our returning troops, and a desire for all Americans to share in the sacrifices being made on their behalf by the men and women who serve. He has voiced his concern for fair treatment of veterans through his books and editorials, and by using the bully pulpit of his nationwide radio program.”
