Concerned Veterans for America will take its 2016 Defend Freedom Tour to Ohio next weekend. The tour first stops in Columbus, Friday, January 22 at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion from 7:00–10:00 p.m. The second Ohio stop in Dayton, Saturday, January 23, will be held at Hope Hotel & Richard C. Holbrooke Conference Center from 6:00–9:00 p.m.

Concerned Veterans for America (CVA) hosts the 2016 Defend Freedom Tour with the mission to deliver a simple message to veterans, military families, and all patriotic Americans — honor service, defend freedom, and, most importantly, take action to save our country.

As 2016 begins, it is clear that the government is failing not only our veterans and military families — but all Americans. A crushing national debt threatens the strength and security of the United States in the near future — and worse, Congress and the current President have shown almost no willingness to fix it. The Department of Veterans Affairs, the nation’s second largest federal agency, is still failing our veterans nearly two years after it was revealed that veterans died on secret wait lists. Meanwhile, the Department of Defense is unable to properly equip our troops in the field, many of whom are still serving in combat zones, due to inefficiencies and corruption within the DoD’s acquisitions processes.

Clearly, based on these important issues, veterans need to make their voices heard in this critical election year — and CVA has a plan to do just that.

“Concerned Veterans for America believes veterans and American patriots have the ability to change the course of our country, now more than ever. We’re excited about the 2016 Defend Freedom Tour, which will be our largest and the lynchpin in our historic movement,” said CVA Legislative and Political Director Dan Caldwell.

“These events give veterans and patriots across the country the chance to inspire and be inspired, and better empowers them to share their passion for freedom and love for this country with their communities- all with the goal of advancing pro-freedom policies that will benefit all Americans.”
