RIO GRANDE – Harry Weimar, commander American Legion Post 184, Wildwood issued the following statement as a follow-up to the rally calling for local veterans’ health care March 25:

“I am going to stay there until the news media and a rep from the Congressman’s (Frank LoBiondo) office or the Congressman himself, plus Senators (Cory) Booker and (Bob) Menendez, also the Veterans Administration, arrive.

“If you think I am kidding come find out because if you do not I personally will go on a hunger strike till you guys do not think this a joke.

I sit here watching the fight about Obamacare, the wall in Mexico, who is spying on who; well what about us veterans that gave you the right to do all that, and (Donald) Trump stop the nonsense and start listening to our dying vets.”
According to U.S. Rep. Frank LoBiondo’s Chief of Staff Jason Galanes, “the Congressman spoke with Harry last night (March 27). As he is in Washington for votes today (March 28), Harry is aware the Congressman will not be able to meet with him today, however the Congressman’s veterans liaison – Mike Francis – is scheduled to meet with Harry later this week.”
