Kentucky veterans and Obama supporters gathered to have lunch on May 15 and discuss why they feel the presidential hopeful is the best man for the job.

The event, sponsored by the Obama campaign was held this afternoon at Bowling Green's Shake Rag restaurant.

The meet-and-greet offered vets and military families the opportunity to share stories and experiences.

Two career military men spoke at the event, saying how important it is for vets to come together.

"It's a chance to share my experience and why I'm committed, and so it's a chance for us to kind of get more centered on the importance of the campaign and the candidacy of Senator Barack Obama," said John B. Nathman, an Obama campaign speaker.

Admiral Nathman was joined by Brigadier General James Smith.

The two have traveled all over the country hosting discussions and spreading support on behalf of the Obama campaign.

This story makes me want to gather the other KY veterans to boycott WBKO coverage from any political points of view! You have disrespected Kentucky veterans!

UNREAL!! MAYBE WBKO CAN CLARIFY TONIGHT WHY THE STORY LOOKS LIKE IT'S ALL VETERANS!! OR IT WOULD BE OBVIOUS THE CHANNEL IS LEANING IN THE VIEWERS TO OBAMA!

PLEASE DO NOT LUMP ALL VETERANS INTO THE OBAMA SUPPORT GROUP BECAUSE THIS IS ONE VETERAN THAT DEFINITLEY DOES NOT SUPPORT SEN. OBAMA, SEN. CLINTON OR SEN. MCCAIN.

The Silent Majority stayed away from the veterans gathered because of nothing there to support.
