“Last year, the expo served more than 80 veterans and we are hoping to surpass that number this year. This event is something that is very close to my heart,” Bradshaw said in a statement.
Bradshaw himself is a veteran. He served as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army, and was trained as a tank commander after graduating from Armstrong State University. During the First Gulf War, he did tours in Germany, Fort Knox, Ky., Fort Benning, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. He left active military service at the rank of captain in 1993.
