JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Sept. 24 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Retired General and former Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark will join former U.S. Senator Max Cleland, D-GA, as the featured speakers at the Veterans for Murtha rally this Saturday, September 30th at 11 am in Central Park, Johnstown, PA.
Clark will join Cleland in helping U.S. Rep. John P. Murtha, D-PA, fend off 'swift boat'-type attacks by a rogue group of veterans who disagree with Murtha's position on the Iraq war. "We're going to make sure people across the country see the support Jack Murtha has for his courageous leadership," Cleland said.
The rally will provide a festival atmosphere with free food and music for families from 11 AM to 2 PM according to organizers. Several garages will be opened free to provide ample parking. A special tent will be set up to accommodate older people.
"I'm honored to have two very distinguished American veterans, Max Cleland and Wes Clark, come to Johnstown to help fight back and speak out against the venomous attacks on my patriotism," Murtha said.
