FLASHBACK: Tim Walz Says He Was Deployed to Afghanistan in 2004 as Part of Operation Enduring Freedom

EXCERPT:

WALZ: “And both of you, with your keen understanding of how this works, especially from National Guard families, I can tell you this, having been one of those that came back, we were in support of OEF, but being — sitting in there with OEF, OIF veterans. When we came back, they showed us the horse whisperer and told us to be nice when we went home. And that was the extent of it. That was in 2004. Now, I'm proud to say that because of the people sitting in here and people who came before me, things have changed over the last four years.”
