Vice president takes questions, addresses concerns at veterans career center (Las Vegas)

http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2012/jul/12/veterans-appreciate-bidens-visit-and-wardrobe/

From the article~

After a couple of questions, one veteran said he liked the vice president’s tie, which was blue and spotted with white sailboats. Would it be appropriate, the veteran said, to ask for it?

Other veterans in the room at the time told the Sun on Wednesday that Biden shared a story about his father’s generous nature, then took off his tie and handed it to the inquiring veteran.

DeCaprio and Rocco are supporters of President Barack Obama and liberals, but even some conservatives in the room appreciated the vice president’s visit.

“I won’t vote for (Obama and Biden), I’ll vote for (Mitt) Romney. I think Obama has done right by veterans, but I’m against his economic policies, taxing people to death, spreading the wealth,” said Marine veteran Damon D’Amico, 51. “What I really appreciated, though, was that the vice president told us, ‘Don’t be scared to ask for help. You deserve it.’ The whole thing made me feel good.”
