MORE THAN 125 VETERANS ENDORSE GOVERNOR HOWARD DEAN

Cite Dean's Foreign Policy Vision

MANCHESTER-Dean For America announced today that more than 125 veterans across New Hampshire have publicly endorsed Governor Howard Dean for President.  Many cited Governor Dean's plan for restoring a foreign policy consistent with American values as a principal reason for their support.

Said Governor Dean, "These veterans have sacrificed a great deal for their country, and I'm deeply honored by their support.  Together, we will work to restore the ideals they fought to protect.  I will not let these brave men and women down."

"I admired from day one Governor Dean's stand on Iraq and how wrong it was for us to unilaterally attack," said Thayer Kingsbury, a World War II veteran and Keene resident.

"I support Governor Dean for President because he stands up for what he believes without checking first to see if it will win him votes," said World War II and Vietnam veteran and Nashua resident Alphonse Haettenschwiller.
