Thanks to the Veterans' good friend Larry Scott, Founder and Editor VA Watchdog dot Org (
http://www.vawatchdog.org/
), the following information was made readily available. Having now less than 90 days to make up ones mind, I share this information with you; McCain and Obama both want the veteran vote, who will get yours? A look at how they voted on veterans' issues and what they have planned for 'our' future just might help you make up your mind.
