Letter: Noak's Earned Support by Supporting Vets

Dear Editor;

We’re reaching out to you today because we know you care deeply about our men and women in uniform today as well as the veterans who have served us so bravely in the past. Whether you are currently serving our great country, are a veteran or you simply support our military and veterans, we thank you.

Veterans for Noak is a group that believes it’s important to support those who support you and me. With local elections fast approaching, we want to let you know why we believe it’s vital to give our support to Romeoville Mayor John Noak.

John is a pro-veteran mayor. For the last five years as mayor, he has worked together with community leaders for a better Romeoville. Throughout that time, he has displayed a commitment to veterans that is unmatched. He has diligently worked with local veterans to ensure we have access to the services we need. As the son of a disabled veteran, he understands the importance of those services and their availability to our veterans.

John was also instrumental in spearheading the Romeoville Veterans Commission, an organization that has created a resource guide and instituted educational scholarships for dependants of veterans and Romeoville ROTC students.

The Village of Romeoville along with the Veteran’s Commission has also sponsored an annual veteran’s job fair over the past three years which has brought companies from all over the country to give our Romeoville veterans the opportunity to succeed.

Leaders like John who have our best interests at heart have earned our vote and we hope will earn yours. If you feel as strongly as we do about John’s commitment to veterans, we encourage you to get involved  and support him in the upcoming election.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your continued support of our military, veterans and those who assist us in our endeavors, and please remember to vote on April 9, 2013.

Christopher Benigno

U.S. Army veteran
