Summary: A conservative Republican vouches for Franken's patriotism, recounting the candidate's efforts to provide U.S. troops with better equipment.
Script Of "Dr. Bob" (TV)
BOB MEADERS: My grandson Justin was headed to Iraq, but the helmet he was issued just wasn't as safe as it could be.
(Text on screen: Dr. Bob Meaders, Retired Navy Captain)
So I started raising money to equip him and his company. And that's when Al Franken offered to help. Al just made it his mission to raise money for improved helmets, almost 40,000 improved helmets to date.

I may be a conservative Republican from Texas, but I know Al Franken is a patriot. I'm proud to call him my friend and a friend of the troops and of America.
AL FRANKEN [v/o]: I'm Al Franken, and I'm proud to approve this message.
(Text on screen: Paid for by Al Franken For Senate)
