Rick Noriega Releases His Military Records: February 27th, 2008

Two weeks ago, Rick Noriega rejected a demand by John Cornyn's surrogates that he turn over his military records to Republican Party operatives. We're not going to give Rick's records to Karl Rove or to Mr. Cornyn's Republican hatchet men: Instead, we're releasing them to all Texans today.

Texans want straight shooters. Like so many Texans, Rick is proud and honored to have had the opportunity to serve, and he welcomes honest scrutiny of his record.

After reviewing his military records, John Cornyn and all Texans will learn the truth: Rick Noriega served for 27 years, including service in Afghanistan, as "Operation Jumpstart" Laredo sector commander on the Texas-Mexico border and as incident commander of the George R. Brown Convention Center refuge during Hurricane Katrina.
