Peekskill, NY/March 13, 2007 – Yesterday, Kieran Lalor and Iraq Veterans for Congress, Lalor's coalition of eleven pro-victory Iraq veterans running for Congress, were recognized at the National Republican Campaign Committee's March Dinner.

After a passionate speech from President Bush, Congressman Darrell Issa introduced each veteran running as a candidate for the House of Representatives. As Issa called each name, the veterans stood and were recognized with an enthusiastic round of applause. The dinner concluded with a touching tribute to the Congressmen who have served in the military and the presentation of the Ronald Reagan Award to Congressman Sam Johnson, a Vietnam veteran who survived seven years in a POW camp.

"I am grateful to Congressman Issa for hosting Iraq Veterans for Congress. He understands the leadership potential in the slate of veterans running for Congress," said Lalor. "We are determined to restore responsible leadership to Washington. The Republican Party stands firmly behind our efforts."
