CRAPO TO AWARD PURPLE HEART, 

HONOR WOMEN IN HISTORY

Special guest at investor forum during Boise visit on Monday

 

Washington, DC -Staff Sgt. Donald Cobb, a Nampa resident, will receive
the Purple Heart for his military service and sacrifice in Iraq from
Idaho Senator Mike Crapo next week.  Cobb was injured in multiple
roadside bomb explosions during deployment to Iraq.  Cobb, who was
deployed with the 116th Calvary Brigade from Idaho, was reassigned to
the 163rd Infantry Battalion while in Iraq.  He was among the Idaho
servicemen and women visited by Crapo during a visit to Fort Bliss in El
Paso, Texas in July 2004 as the troops deployed to Iraq.  

 

Crapo will use the backdrop of dramatic technical changes in Idaho's
state libraries to highlight the service of women during a Boise visit
next week.  Crapo will donate books from the Library of Congress on
women who have served in Congress during an event at the Idaho
Commission on Libraries.  The Commission is now showcasing new
technology making books and written materials available statewide for
the first time.

 

At a financial forum in Boise on Monday evening, Crapo, who serves on
the Senate Banking and Finance Committees, will address issues related
to the national economy and federal legislation.  The forum is sponsored
by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the largest
non-governmental regulator for all securities firms doing business in
the United States.   

 

Economic issues will also be a part of Crapo's remarks earlier in the
day to the Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce.  Crapo's will keynote the
Chamber's Legislative Luncheon and take questions.
