BRADLEY ANNOUNCES ADDITION OF 110 MEMBERS TO

“VETS FOR JEB”

Wolfeboro, NH -- 1st District Congressional Candidate Jeb Bradley today releases 110 additions to his “VETS FOR JEB” team. Recognizing his long history of work to better treatment and care for America’s greatest assets, Bradley has received unprecedented support from New Hampshire veterans in his election effort.
 
“Jeb Bradley received the 2007 Franklin Pierce Award from the National Guard Association of New Hampshire because of his work in Congress for the men and women serving in the Guard. Jeb has earned my support in his run for Congress and the support of all voters who back our troops" said Major General (ret.) Joe Simeone, former Deputy Adjutant General of the New Hampshire National Guard.  “He has been instrumental in gaining resources for our Air and Army units in NH and preserving jobs for NH citizens in his tremendous effort to keep the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard open in the last round of Base Closure and Realignment actions.”
 
"Jeb Bradley worked successfully to open a new outpatient clinic for veterans in Somersworth. Because of Jeb's efforts, veterans in the Seacoast can get routine treatment without having to travel to Manchester or out of state. I am proud to support Jeb's efforts to return to Congress" said Donna Knapper the President of the Ladies Auxiliary Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1772 in Rochester.
 
“Jeb Bradley has proven himself by deeds and action, as a supporter of our nation's troops, veterans and their families. Not only did Jeb work to increase funding for veterans health care but he also understands the responsibility that a member of Congress has to support troops in harms way. Jeb fought for troops and veterans---now we will work for him.” said Cathie Chevalier, former President of the Ladies Auxiliary  of New Hampshire Veterans of Foreign Wars.
 
In addition to continuing his support of veterans when he returns to Congress, Jeb will co-sponsor legislation that will return to the proper designation of POW/MIA for American soldiers that are Prisoners of War or are Missing in Action.  “We need to honor our men and women of the military, who give the greatest sacrifice, properly.  I will work to restore the designation for our prisoners of war or those missing in action,” said Bradley.
