Sepulveda to address Jewish vets

Councilman Sepulveda is planning a speaking engagement this coming Sunday in Sun Lakes:

Martin Sepulveda, a Chandler city councilman and a commander in the Naval Reserve who is recently back from active duty in Iraq, will speak at the breakfast meeting of the Jewish War Veterans Copper State Post 619 in Sun Lakes at 9:45 a.m. Sunday in the Mirror Room of Sun Lakes Country Club.

He will speak about his experiences during eight months working with Marines in Iraq. He has been called to active duty four times - Kosovo, the first Gulf War and twice for Iraq.

The post is open to all men and women who want to help veterans no matter what religion.

Information: Art Sloane, (480) 802-6810. Reservations for the breakfast: Sam Kerns, (480) 895-6010.

As Jake surmises, I suspect that Sepulveda will be asked a few questions that diverge somewhat from the intended topic. I'd especially like to hear Councilman Sepulveda's answer to why he should continue to receive his Council salary when overseas, while other city staffers don't get the same consideration.
