Jun 04, 2010

ATLANTA – Today, U.S. Senator and Senate candidate Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., announced the leadership of Veterans for Isakson, a group of military veterans committed to his re-election to the United States Senate this November. These co-chairs will reach out to Georgia veterans and military personnel to make certain that they are educated about Isakson’s deep commitment to the men and women in our armed forces and the veterans who have served our country.

“The sacrifice and commitment to country of the men and women in the United States military are what make America great,” said Isakson. “I am very honored and blessed to receive the support from men and women for whom I hold a tremendous amount of respect.”

Isakson served in the Georgia Air National Guard from 1966 to 1972, and is a member of the American Legion, Post 233.

“In over three decades of public service, Johnny has never forgotten veterans, active duty personnel and our families. In short, Johnny Isakson has a consistent public record of supporting us each and every time we have called on him,” said Ted Daywalt, a Georgian, veteran of the United States Navy and president of VetJobs.
