Bronze Star recipient Pete Hegseth, executive director and co-founder of Vets for Freedom returned to Pundit Review Radio this afternoon to discuss his organizations upcoming National Heroes Tour.
The National Heroes Tour is about supporting our troops, honoring their commitment, and rallying the country to complete the missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
At this critical juncture in our country, we need Americans, lawmakers and the media, to fully recognize—and appreciate—the sacrifice of our brave military and the dramatic success they have achieved, especially in Iraq with the new counterinsurgency strategy.
Joining Pete will be some of the incredible heroes of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Those of you who are familiar with our Someone You Should Know series should recognize these names, David Bellavia, Marcus Lutrell and Marco Martinez.
In addition to talking about the National Heroes Tour, I had to ask about funding for veterans care and what his group is doing to pressure Congress to do more.
I also asked Pete about Sen. John McCain, who is getting an unbelieveable amount of flack from prominent conservative commentators. Back in January Pete wrote an article for National Review titled, Praise Him: McCain deserves accolades, not attacks
John McCain helped prod this country to change policy — making him, ironically, the most important “change†candidate in this election.
