Comeaux Peer Support and Mentoring Program).  Recently, the organization went througha transition to signify their goal of assisting statewide and “rebranded” itself as the Military Advocacy Project of Louisiana. 

Then we have Frank McRae.  He is the former head of the US Army Special Forces Advanced Reconnaissance Target Analysis and Exploitation Techniques Course (SFARTAETC) at Ft. Bragg N.C. He started his military career in the 1st Ranger Bn as an 11B infantryman.

And finally, we have US Senate Candidate from Louisana, Ret. Col. Rob Maness.  Col. Maness Rob made the decision as a 17 year old high school senior to enlist in the Air Force and served in the midst of the Iranian hostage crisis. He worked his way up from the enlisted ranks to full colonel and retired from active duty in 2011, ending his military service of more than 32 years.  During his military service, Colonel Maness led numerous combat operations; two of which were as a bomber squadron commander in operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.
