Reno News & Review, 8/6/10 - Republican U.S. senate candidate Sharron Angle has been attacking her Democratic opponent, Harry Reid, for failing U.S. troops.

But organizations representing the troops give the Nevada senator high marks.

Las Vegas Review Journal, 5/11/10 -

You can't swing a coonskin cap without encountering a Senate candidate holding a 12-gauge for a photo opportunity or reminiscing about their limitless -- if previously little known -- love of guns, hunting and the sacred Second Amendment. It's getting so intense I hear the Las Vegas Review-Journal is considering sending In the Outdoors columnist C. Douglas Nielsen on the road with the candidates.

Nevada Appeal, 5/9/10 - Former U.S. Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia says he is a “big, big, big Harry Reid fan.”

Cleland's fondness for Reid, facing a contentious battle in his quest for a fifth term, essentially stems from the Senate majority leader's dedication to military veterans.

Las Vegas Review Journal, 5/6/10 - The re-election campaign of Sen. Harry Reid said today it has the endorsement of Col. Howard D. Belote, the recently retired commander of the 99th Air Base Wing at Nellis Air Force Base.

Lahontan Valley News, 5/5/10 - Former Georgia Senator Max Cleland said Wednesday Sue Lowden is no friend of veterans.

Cleland, who was head of the U.S. Veterans Administration under Jimmy Carter, criticized Lowden for a bill that would have charged some veterans for burial plots in VA cemeteries.

KTVN, 2/22/2010 - Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid says more than $5 million in economic recovery dollars are headed to Reno's V.A. medical center.

"What we are doing with the V.A. hospital is so important. We have World War II veterans who are aging. The Korean War veterans and Vietnam veterans and we have thousands of coming home from Afghanistan and Iraq. They deserve this facility and even more."

Navy Times, 2/9/2010 - OCEANSIDE, Calif. – Marines and Navy SEALs are using an Army facility to train for Afghanistan, and soldiers are missing out, two U.S. senators report.

The Army’s weapons depot in Hawthorne, Nev., is an outpost that features high altitudes and high desert — two features that make it a strong stand-in for Afghanistan.

Nevada’s two senators, Democrat Harry Reid and Republican John Ensign, want the Army to take a page from the Corps and expand its training opportunities at the remote post, which lies east of Reno and is the largest ammunition storage facility in the continental United States.

Las Vegas Review-Journal, 1/28/10 - USO leaders announced plans today to open a $1.5 million airport “hospitality center” where members of the military can congregate, wash up and rest. They said their goal was to finish it by summer.

That is why this country should be thankful that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is fighting for passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This landmark legislation would help fix a health insurance market that has been broken for decades.

Reid was right when he said: "The health care status quo is not an option for our states."

Las Vegas Sun, 11/17/2009 - The Senate on Tuesday adopted the latest in a continuing series of major budget increases to provide medical care for veterans.

The move came as the Senate passed, by a rare 100-0 vote, a $134 billion spending bill for veterans programs and military construction projects. Even the most ardent spending hawks and foes of the congressional practice of earmarking pet projects to lawmakers' districts and states voted for the legislation.

Las Vegas Review-Journal, 11/16/2009 - Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., announces a new "Veterans for Reid" Web effort and an endorsement from Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps John L. Estrada (ret.), the highest enlisted rank in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Las Vegas Review-Journal, 09-15-09 -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Monday asked the State Department and Pentagon to investigate the electrocution of a 25-year-old private security contractor while showering in his dormitory in Baghdad.

Las Vegas Sun, 07-28-09 — Starting later this week, an enhanced GI Bill, known as the “Post- 9/11 GI Bill,” will go into effect for our veterans who have served after Sept. 11, 2001.

As undergraduate tuition has jumped across the country (and recently here in Nevada), under the previously used Montgomery GI Bill, payments to veterans would have remained relatively the same — about $1,200 to $1,500 a month.

The Ely Times, 07-23-09 — U.S. Sen. Harry Reid launched a public service announcement Monday to urge Nevada veterans of the global war on terrorism to take advantage of the 21st Century G.I. Bill of Rights that takes effect Aug. 1.

Any veteran who served at least three months active duty since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks can receive four years of tuition and fees from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, the University of Nevada, Reno, and Nevada’s colleges.

Las Vegas Review-Journal, 06-10-09 — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is seeking to help families of National Guard and Reserve troops whose incomes as citizen-soldiers are reduced by deployments in support of combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
