McCrory Addresses North Carolina VFW Annual Meeting

Charlotte, N.C. – Today Pat McCrory addressed the North Carolina Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) annual meeting in Greensboro.  His opponent, Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue, sent a representative but chose not to attend.

“I am committed to taking care of the brave men and women who served our nation honorably and protected the freedoms we hold so dear,” said McCrory.  “That is why I cleared my schedule to speak to our state’s veterans and listen to what is on their minds.  As Governor, I will always be accessible to our veterans and I will always advocate for their best interests.”

McCrory discussed a number of issues including his support for modernizing the Montgomery GI Bill, increasing space in the state veterans’ cemetery and improving mental health services for returning veterans.
