Jeb announces Iowa Veterans Leadership

Jeb started his day meeting veterans and serving coffee at a HyVee in Johnston, IA. Jeb is joined by Colonel Leo K. Thorsness, a Medal of Honor Recipient, on the trail today, and he is announcing his Iowa Veterans Leadership Team. See the following statement from Colonel Thorsness on why he is endorsing Jeb for President.  

"I’ve spent my life trying to do what’s right for our great country.  As a retired Colonel, Medal of Honor recipient and former POW I have seen a lot of politicians come and go.  But it’s not the talkers who make a difference, it’s the doers.  That’s why I am honored to support Jeb Bush for president.  No candidate has a better record of taking on the entrenched establishment and shaking things up.  I know I can trust Jeb to fix the big problems, like the VA, because he’s done it before.  

"I am privileged to spend this Veteran’s Day campaigning with Jeb in Iowa and it’s my honor to announce Jeb’s Iowa Veterans Leadership Team.  This team will be working hard everyday to show Iowans why Jeb is the right choice for veterans and active military veterans.” said Colonel Leo K.
