This is the third in my election diary series sharing information about Matt Zeller, Democrat for US House in my home district, NY 29.

Today we are taking a look at National Security
Matt Zeller’s firsthand experience in Afghanistan makes him particularly thoughtful and clear about the responsibilities of a Congressman in leading effectively on National Security. He has spoken about his experience as he has met with voters this campaign season:
As an officer in the United States Army, I pledged to defend our country, our families and our way of life against all enemies - and I will make that same commitment as our next Representative in Congress.
In January 2009, I returned home from serving in Afghanistan with the New York Army National Guard. I know firsthand that the world today is a very dangerous place, and we face a wide range of new and constantly evolving threats.
