(NN&V Staff) – On Thursday, Dr. Joe Heck, a Colonel in the United States Army Reserve, announced the launch of the “Veterans for Heck Coalition.” This coalition, consisting of veterans from across southern Nevada, will be led by a steering committee representing each branch of service including LTC William T. Anton, USA (Ret.), LtCol George Rivers, USMC (Ret.), MCPO Jerry Sherwood, USCG (Ret.), CAPT Phil Perine, USN (Ret.), and CPT Pete Lappin, USAF.
“It is with honor that I announce the support of these distinguished heroes and community leaders. I am proud to be an American, and honored to have stood beside our nation’s finest patriots who have served with valor and distinction,” said Joe Heck. “There is no greater call to service than the one to defend the American values of freedom and liberty.
“We must always remember the sacrifices our men and women in uniform make each day; it is a small token of the enormous debt owed to them – a deep and abiding debt we keep with faith and honor, but can never justly compensate,” continued Heck. “For the past 20 years, I have proudly served beside servicemen and women; it is an honor that they stand with me today.
“I know firsthand the challenges that veterans often face, which is why it is among my highest priorities to ensure that southern Nevada’s veterans have the kind of leadership and representation in Washington they truly deserve,” concluded Dr. Joe Heck.
This coalition will act as official liaisons to the Veterans community in southern Nevada. If you are a veteran and would like to participate in Dr. Heck’s campaign for Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District, please contact the Dr. Joe Heck for Congress campaign at 702-614-5900.
