Original Note:
Walz deployed to Italy in 2003 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4817433-walz-vance-military-records-attacked/ https://www.wctrib.com/community/letters/the-truth-about-tim-walz His 2006 campaign and media coverage at the time accurately reflected that.
