Vets for Freedom is proud to announce its support of Democratic Congressman Jim Marshall for United States Congress in the 8^th District of Georgia. Jim is a true American patriot, having proudly served his country both in the military and as a public servant for most of his life. Jim has also been a strong supporter of our troops and their mission—and is one of the few Democrats who stood behind General David Petraeus’ strategy in Iraq in 2007 and 2008, even when it was politically unpopular.

Before joining Congress, Jim was compelled by his strong sense of duty and took time off from his college education at Princeton to enlist in the Army and volunteer for infantry combat in Vietnam. During his tour, Jim served as an Airborne-Ranger reconnaissance platoon sergeant, and was wounded and decorated for heroism in ground combat. His decorations include two Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart, and his actions earned him membership in the U.S. Army Ranger Hall of Fame. Vets for Freedom is honored to stand by Jim’s side as he continues his life of public service in the United States Congress.

“As a fellow veteran, I am truly humbled to speak on behalf of over 25,000 members of Vets for Freedom in offering our strong endorsement of Jim Marshall for United States Congress,” said Vets for Freedom Chairman, Pete Hegseth. “Jim has stood with us on Capitol Hill, and it’s time for us to stand with him. During his tenure in Congress, Jim has proved time and time again that politics always takes a back seat to doing what’s right when it comes to fighting our enemies and supporting those who wear the uniform. Our country needs more people like Jim in Washington.”
