MICHIGAN VETERANS SUPPORT JOHN MCCAIN
Veterans Join State Advisory Committee
ARLINGTON, VA – U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced the creation of the Michigan Veterans Advisory Committee. The state veterans’ leadership team is made up of former POWs, senior ranking officers and non-commissioned officers, state veterans’ group leaders, as well as elected officials.
“John McCain’s unwavering support for our men and women in uniform in the face of political adversity proves that he is uniquely prepared to be our Commander-In-Chief,” said Army Lieutenant Colonel and Michigan State Senator John Pappageorge.
“We are proud to stand with a fellow POW and support his candidacy for President of the United States,” said former POW Donald “Digger” Odell. “He is a man of honor and dignity who can lead America’s foreign policy from day one.”
Lieutenant Colonel Hank Fuhs, a 31-year veteran of the Air National Guard and U.S. Air Force, and Secretary of the Michigan Republican Party, will chair the Michigan Veterans Advisory Committee.
Senator John McCain stated that he was proud to have the support of these respected veterans. “These individuals have earned the respect of their country and communities, and I am thankful for their leadership as we move forward in this campaign.”
