    Veterans come out for Edwards

    Edwards’ experience of veterans’ affairs and his efforts on the behalf of service men and women make him the logical choice for re-election, all three said. ”I admire Chet,” Taylor said. “He studies his job and knows everything there is to know about the military and veterans affairs. I’ve never known anyone who worked so hard in Congress for the benefit of soldiers, their families and veterans, and I’ve met and talked to a lot of  congressmen through the years.”

    General Paul E. “Butch” Funk (U.S. Army, ret.): “Too often after the battle our veterans and their families are forgotten.  They need advocates like Chet Edwards to fight for them and ensure they get the care and respect they have earned.  Chet has been such a tireless advocate for veterans, not for fame or glory, but because he believes in a strong national defense and that we should honor our commitment to the men and women who have fought to defend our country.  He has fought to improve the quality of life for our veterans, improving health care and expanding educational opportunities.”

    “Chet Edwards is a leader – the values that he holds, the character that he has, defines him. What we need today are some good leaders, men and women who don’t just talk about what we should be doing, but who get things done. Chet Edwards has done so much, made such an incredible difference in the lives of servicemen and woman, and I admire him. Chet is making a difference, he is an honest man, and for all of our nation’s veterans and military families, we need to keep Chet Edwards in Congress.”
