The Mitt Romney campaign today announced its Florida Veteran for Romney team:

“Veterans and military families across Florida know that America’s Comeback Team of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will bring good paying jobs to our veteran communities,” said Florida Veterans for Romney chair Rudi Gresham.  “Our leadership team will play a vital role in helping educate veterans about the Romney-Ryan plan to reverse the current administration’s defense cuts, get unemployed veterans back to work, enact positive reforms at the VA, and restore our military after more than ten years of war.”
