The “Defend Freedom” cross-country bus tour of decorated veterans passing through New Mexico today and tomorrow. Participants including Lt. Col. Steve Russell, who led the capture of Saddam Hussein, along with CEO Pete Hegseth will share stories at events in Albuquerque and Las Cruces.
According to the press release, the goal of the event is to engage local veterans and other interested community members. The ‘Defend Freedom’ Bus Tour launched in October and will travel nearly coast to coast providing a platform for military veterans, their friends and families, and all interested community members to share their stories and “explore ways to continue fighting for freedom here at home.” The tour is sponsored by the Concerned Veterans for America.
