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.

The Worst 10 Senators up for Reelection Empowering Veterans, Inc announces its target list of the "Worst 10" incumbent US Senators that are up for reelection in 2008. This group is long on lofty rhetoric about "Support the Troops" but pretty short on action when it comes to actually supporting the troops and their families and veterans and their families.
