Fact Checking the Cedar Rapids Gazette

2nd District Congressional Candidate Christopher Reed has two big events today. First there is a fundraiser headlined by former presidential candidate Duncan Hunter. Second it is Christopher's 38th birthday. Unfortunately I'll be timing at a swim meet so I won't be able to attend.

Here is what the Gazette wrote about the event:

Hunter is traveling the country to support conservative, Republican military veterans running for office. Reed is a Navy veteran of the Vietnam War.

Vietnam? Christopher Reed is a Navy veteran but he would have been about 4 years old when Saigon fell.
