President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will travel to Orlando on Saturday for the Disabled American Veterans National Convention.
Mr. Obama will address nearly 4,000 injured veterans and guests who are expected to attend the three-day convention from August 10-13 at the Hilton Orlando hotel. Mrs. Obama will introduce her husband, following which the president will address attendees.
Several seminars will be held to inform members on key legislative and policy issues affecting veterans. A central discussion will be what actions the VA and Congress are implementing to eliminate the backlog for delivering benefits to veterans.
