Thursday was the fifth anniversary of the day President Bush gave a speech declaring “Mission Accomplished” – that all major combat operations in Iraq were over. It made for a good opportunity for Democratic candidates to speak out against the war.
Adam Cote, a Democratic candidate in the First Congressional District visited the Westbrook Armory and outlined a plan to help meet veterans’ needs. Cote was shipped out from the Westbrook Armory in 2004 when he was deployed to Iraq.
