State Representative and Congressional Candidate Steven Palazzo Called to Active Duty
News Release
Steven Palazzo, State Representative and conservative Republican candidate for Mississippi’s 4th Congressional District, has been called to active duty for Annual Training at Camp Shelby for the next two weeks. While combat troops are exiting the Iraq theatre, the war is escalating in Afghanistan, and thousands of troops are training at Camp Shelby to be deployed. Representative Palazzo’s mission at Camp Shelby Joint Force Training Center (CSJFTC) is to support base operations, which oversees the training and deployment of troops who will soon be sent to hostile areas around the world.
Representative Palazzo is a former member of the United States Marines 3rd Force Recon, and is a combat veteran of Operation Desert Storm. As a member of the Mississippi Army National Guard, he previously served on active duty at Camp Shelby in 2004 and 2005 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Seldom have Congressional candidates been called to active duty so close to Election Day. But according to Palazzo, it’s just what comes with the territory: “My call to active duty comes during a challenging time, and adds to my already demanding schedule. I am still running a small business, serving the people of Mississippi House District 116, campaigning to unseat Gene Taylor, and most importantly, spending precious time with my family. Life as a citizen-soldier comes with sacrifice, and families of soldiers sacrifice the most while their loved ones serve multiple tours abroad. I am proud to be a citizen-soldier and I am grateful for the opportunity to defend our nation’s freedoms against our foreign and domestic enemies.”
Steven Palazzo is a conservative, Republican candidate for U.S. Congress in Mississippi’s fourth congressional district. Elected to the House of Representatives in 2006.
Steven Palazzo has over 20 years combined experience in the Marine Corps Reserves and the MS Army National Guard. http://www.PalazzoForCongress.com”>
