DES MOINES, Iowa--(Business Wire)--Presidential contender Ron Paul will hold a rally Wednesday,
January 2 at 7 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom, Hotel Fort Des Moines. Dr.
Paul will be joined by members of Veterans for Paul, including Rolling
Thunder co-founder John Holland, as he speaks about his plan for a
stronger America and his foreign policy.

   Dr. Paul is a Vietnam era veteran, having served in the Air Force
as a flight surgeon. According to the latest available fundraising
statistics, Congressman Paul leads the candidates in donations from
members of the military.

   Congressman Paul is no stranger to military support. Former
president Ronald Reagan said, "Ron Paul is one of the outstanding
leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air
Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and he
always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our country!"

   Over 300 veterans have endorsed Congressman Paul in the past week
through the new "Veterans for Paul" endorsement page:
