Pittsburgh, Pa. - “The Steel City” was the host city for the 116th VFW National Convention held July 18-22, 2015, and Vets4Energy was there to talk about how energy policies affect our national and economic security.  Vets4Energy was the only veterans “energy-related” organization at the event.
 
Approximately 10,000 VFW and Ladies Auxiliary members convened from all over the world for the five-day event at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. President Barack Obama, VA Secretary Bob McDonald, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency Director Mike Linnington, and Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf were just a few guests to address convention delegates.

Vets4Energy's Rear Admiral Don Loren spoke at the National Security Committee meeting, while State Liaison Captain James McCormick and PA State Chairman Captain Tony Caldarelli manned the exhibition hall booth talking one on one with participants.
