In reply to the discussion: Veterans Love Bernie Sanders: "No One Has Had Our Backs Like Bernie. No one!" [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)49. What a great story, gregcrawford. I don't doubt that Bernie reached out to help a veteran
but it's always great to hear from people who experienced his efforts on behalf of veterans first hand. Lucky you for having the chance to thank him personally.
He's the nation's best bet for the nation's hardest job.
Obviously I couldn't agree more!
