PERRY, GA — Vietnam combat veteran Marine Sgt. Raymond Craig, a sniper who served his country in Vietnam and father of Veterans for America First (VFAF) National Vice President Jared Craig, Esq., received VIP treatment at President Donald J. Trump's October 24, 2026, rally at Guardian Centers in Perry, Georgia.

White House Political Director Jon George and Congressman Brian Jack helped roll out the red carpet for the decorated generation of Vietnam combat veterans, arranging front-row, center-stage seating for Sgt. Craig and his son, Jared Craig, in recognition of Raymond Craig's military service and sacrifice.

During the event, Georgia U.S. Senate candidate Congressman Mike Collins took time to speak with Sgt. Craig and listen to concerns raised by the Vietnam combat veteran.

President Donald J. Trump addressed the standing-room-only crowd, delivering powerful remarks on his administration's accomplishments, national priorities and Georgia's upcoming midterm elections.

For Veterans for America First, the occasion represented a meaningful recognition of an American veteran whose service to the nation continues to be honored more than five decades later.
