Democrats form veterans’ council


In a war over votes in the November elections, Democrats launched an assault Wednesday with the announcement of a veterans’ advisory council and a new Web site to show support for veterans and military families.

The Democratic National Committee also announced a new Fighting Democrats Web site, which will provide links to Democrats who are military veterans and running for Congress.

“America’s veterans and military families share many of the core values of the Democratic Party, including a commitment to service and a profound belief that every American who works hard should have the opportunity to succeed,” said Howard Dean, the DNC chairman.

Retired Army Lt. Gen. Claudia Kennedy and retired Army Reserve Col. Don Fowler are co-chairmen of the new Democratic National Veterans and Military Families Council, which will have 28 other members who are veterans or military spouses.

2. How are the Fighting Democrats different from the Band of Brothers?
Do they compete or complement each other :shrug:

In any event, I'm happy to see Bill Durston listed on both sites. Bill is taking on Dan Lungren and could use our support.
