I am a 65 year old retired Navy Supply Corps Captain and retired businessman from Fairfax Station, Virginia. I served in the US Navy from March 1963 until September of 1990, over 27 years.
I make no claim of being a war hero. My service in the Viet Nam war consisted of two Tonkin Gulf deployments in USS Intrepid CVS-11 in 1967 and 1968. As a Supply Corps officer I served in a support role. But unlike our President, Vice President and most of their neoconservative fellow travelers that have gotten us in to the mess we called Iraq, I served.
I started the PAC, Empowering Veterans, during the 2006 Senate campaign in Virginia in support of Jim Webb's candidacy against George Allen.
