KAAL-TV Speaker Pelosi in Minnesota

Brandon's McElwain's video about the event at KAAL-TV is more comprehensive than the short article, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in Minnesota that's on the station's web site, so it's definitely worth a look. 

Here's the text:

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is in Minnesota to learn about the needs of local veterans.

During a round-table discussion hosted by U.S. Representative Tim Walz, Pelosi heard good things about what the Minnesota National Guard is doing to ensure its veterans get their benefits.

But veterans told her that others from the active duty military services fall through the cracks too often.

Participants praised the care they get at the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

But they appealed for more financial help for veterans from rural Minnesota who must travel long distances to get care.

The panel included veterans from World War II all the way to the current Iraq war as well as officials who work with veterans.

Pelosi has promised to take what she learned back to Washington and see what she can do to help.

Veteran Ken Delano definitely does well on camera.
