WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is headed to Pittsburgh on Tuesday to speak to thousands of veterans in town for the Veterans of Foreign Wars national convention at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Downtown.

It will be Mr. Obama’s fifth speech to the national convention since 2007, and his third as president.

“What we hope to hear is how he will continue to take the fight to our enemies, while keeping America safe through strong national defense and homeland security programs,” said VFW National Commander John W. Stroud, a retired Air Force First sergeant from Nevada. “We also want to know how he will create, enhance and protect veteran and military health care programs and quality-of-life initiatives such as education benefits, job training and employment programs, as well as hear a renewed White House commitment to return our fallen from their battlefields.”

I think he will behind the scenes even if this is closed to the public. I know one of those who had to testify in Washington...but everything is very hush hush as to the facts of the scandal...but truth is there is certainly corruption and a host of other issues.

Garrett can ask him why there are no half-mast flags today to honor the dead Marines.
