Keep up the great work Congressman McNerney. As a veteran, I appreciate the effort you’ve put forth on behalf of our men and women in the military.

Yes, God Bless our Vets. But give me a break...what politician-- except for Obama -- would not be in support of our Vets? Did you forget that Obama was the first US President since 1953 to attend the Vet Heros' Ball soon after he was elected?

A great way to support veterans is to find veteran owned businesses and actively search for products and/or services they offer. The VA has a site called VetBiz.gov which lists out a few thousand businesses. On the commercial side, VeteranOwnedBusiness.com has a directory of nearly 2,500 veteran owned businesses and service disabled veteran owned businesses. http://www.VeteranOwnedBusiness.com

Craig Roberts, the American Legion's media relations manager, wrote the following, "President Obama was invited but did not attend. Vice-President Joe Biden did appear, however, and was very warmly received. The new President's absence was understandable considering the unprecedented logistical challenges presented by the vastly increased number of visitors to this inauguration and the necessary attendant security measures. The American Legion, as an organization, does not feel offended or 'snubbed.'"

Did you know that the ACLU has filed a suit to have all military cross-shaped headstones removed and another suit to end prayer from the military completely. They're making great progress. The Navy Chaplains can no longer mention Jesus' name in prayer thanks to the retched ACLU and the Obama administration.
Where do you stand on this Mr. McNerney?
