I am also an active Democrat living in Chicago, Illinois. My family has ties to both the Obama and Clinton campaigns (my wife Joanne is a former member of the DNC) and in 2005 Rep. Rahm Emanuel arranged for the airing of a local TV program about World War II vets that included my story. Do you think one of the veterans mentioned in your letter might be healthy enough to travel to Denver in late August for the Democratic National Convention? The reason I ask is that I'd like to put together three or four articulate World War II vets to make a brief presentation from the podium of the convention showing the connection between our party and veterans. Please let me know of someone who might want to take part. Because I served in the air force, it might be helpful if the Colorado vet was army or navy.
