After a lifetime of public service including a 6 year career as a United States Marine, Kent and his entire family symbolize the American spirit based on duty to country. His father served 26 years in the Marine Corps, his wife of 37 years is a former Marine Officer, and their daughter is a graduate of the US Naval Academy. Vets for Freedom applauds Kent’s commitment to continue his public service in the United States Congress.

“As a fellow veteran who has proudly served my country in the United States Army, I am humbled to speak on behalf of Vets for Freedom in offering our strong endorsement of Kent Greenough for United States Congress,” said Vets for Freedom Chairman, Pete Hegseth. “Kent understands that the fight we are currently undertaking in Iraq is essential to our success in the global fight against Islamic extremism. He recognizes and acknowledges the success of our current military strategy implemented by General Petraeus, and has been a steadfast source of support of all the men and women who are winning the Global War on Terror. Our country needs more dedicated people like Kent in Washington.”

Hegseth continued, “As the brave men and women who wear our nation’s uniform continue to serve in harm’s way, it is important that politics end at the water’s edge, and that we have elected officials in Washington who understand and appreciate the sacrifices they make and why they make them. Kent Greenough is a true American patriot, and I am proud to offer the support of Vets for Freedom.”

Vets for Freedom is a nonpartisan organization established by combat veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
