about

NC Vets works to support Democratic candidates at all levels. In 2008,
for example, it assisted the Hagan and Obama campaigns with veteran
outreach across the state.

The caucus also made public endorsements this year of selected
candidates. It serves on an ongoing basis as an effective statewide
communications network.

Finally, NC Vets challenges the false and offensive stereotypes of
Democrats as weak on defense, incompetent in national security, and
even downright unpatriotic. The caucus makes clear that the American
military is as diverse as America itself.

NC Vets is open to all who serve or have served in the armed forces,
past and present, and to their families. It now has almost 200 members,
representing 47 of North Carolina's 100 counties.

Caucus members include soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who
have served in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Bosnia,
Afghanistan, Iraq and all points between.

NC Vets is not an official part of the Democratic Party. You do not need
to be a registered Democrat or a resident of North Carolina to join.

The Democratic Veterans' Caucus of North Carolina (NC Vets) is a
grassroots organization founded in 2005.

The caucus stands for personal responsibility, shared sacrifice,
and leadership by example. Its goal is to help elect public officials
who share these values.
