IAVA event with Michelle Obama
This morning Michelle Obama joined Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America to talk about the importance of caring for returning veterans.
1,049,398 17-29 yr olds have served in Iraq or Afghanistan. Of those that return, many struggle with finding jobs, going to college, and finding adequate health care.
IAVA hosted the event this morning in Denver, and will be bringing the same issues to the RNCC next week in St. Paul. Other guests included Iraq veteran Tammy Duckworth, Jeannie Ritter, and Jill Biden.
Young voters say time and time again that their top issues in this election are the job market, health care and the war in Iraq. Rock the Vote is glad that organizations like IAVA are getting all of these issues on the table.
