 WASHINGTON, DC, March 30, 2008 - WASHINGTON (March 30, 2008) – The leader of the nation’s largest veterans organization will honor CNN anchor Lou Dobbs for his coverage of illegal immigration and his support for the U.S. military.
“Lou Dobbs is a true American patriot,” National Commander Marty Conatser said. “His compassion for America’s veterans and support for the U.S. military is clear to the viewers of Lou Dobbs Tonight. Lou has been a tireless and true leader in the fight against illegal immigration. America would be better off if lawmakers would heed his common sense solutions to serious problems that this nation faces.”

The American Legion
Dobbs is scheduled to receive the National Commander’s Public Relations Award at a luncheon held at the Renaissance Washington DC hotel Wednesday afternoon. The luncheon comes at the close of The American Legion’s 48th annual Washington Legislative Conference. Past recipients of the award include Meet the Press host Tim Russert, the Extreme Makeover television series, entertainer Wayne Newton, and former NBC News Anchor Tom Brokaw.
Founded in 1919, the 2.7 million-member American Legion is the nation’s preeminent service organization for veterans of the U.S. armed forces, including active duty, National Guard and Reserves, and their families. A powerful voice for veterans in Washington, The American Legion drafted the original GI Bill and was instrumental in establishing the agency that today is the federal Department of Veterans Affairs.
