Help Us Honor Our Brave Veterans

Please mark your calendars to join the Democratic Party of Washoe County, its affiliates, Nevada State Democratic Party, and Organizing for America in representing the Party in the City of Reno Veteran's Day Parade Friday, Nov. 11.  The theme this year is "Honoring Women in the Military." 

Every day Americans enlist to serve in our all-volunteer forces, and when they do, as Senator Harry Reid has said, the rest of us make an implicit agreement with those men and women that we will never forget the service they have given nor will we fail to provide the benefits they have earned.

We look forward to a big turnout of Democrats on Veteran's Day.  Watch this newsletter for more details.
