McCain Campaign Press Release - Georgia Veterans Unite Behind John McCain

U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced the leadership of Georgia Veterans for John McCain, a statewide grassroots organization that will work to bolster John McCain's support within Georgia's veterans' community.
