Script of "Veterans" (TV)

RICK BARG: Tim is the same as he's always been when it comes to veterans.

(Text on screen: Rick Barg; Vietnam Veteran, Past Post Commander)

His son, Brooks, served in Iraq and Afghanistan. When you have a family member that's served our nation, you have a better understanding of what veterans themselves have gone through.

For the first time in a generation, Senator Johnson has gotten full funding for medical care for veterans.

He's a voice that we need and he's a voice that's always been there for us. Veterans don't have a better friend that Tim Johnson.

TIM JOHNSON [v/o]: I'm Tim Johnson, and I approve this ad.

(Text on screen: Working hard. Making a difference. Paid For By Tim Johnson For South Dakota Inc.)
