From the Biography of Colonel Kenneth W. Cordier, USAF (Ret) (
http://www.okbar.org/news/cordierbio.pdf):
Political Involvement - During the 2000 Presidential Primary Campaign, Col. Cordier rallied
fellow POWs to support George W. Bush and collected signatures from a large segment of the
POWs for a press release endorsement. Following President Bush's nomination, he was
appointed as Vice Chair for the Veterans and Retired Military for Bush - Cheney National
Coalition. In that capacity, he coordinated daily electronic message traffic to the Vietnam POW
membership for follow-on networking. During the fall campaign, Col. Cordier carried President-elect
Bush's message of the need to rebuild our military and the importance of restoring support
for veterans and military retirees at every public speaking opportunity.
At the personal invitation of Congressman Pete Sessions, Col. Cordier has served on the
Service Academy Selection Board for the 5th Congressional district for the years 1997-2000.
Several students selected are now in the top ten of their class at their respective academy.
Col. Cordier and his wife have hosted the annual dinner for the Dallas Republican Career
Women in their home for the past two years. Congressman Sam Johnson was a guest speaker
for this event attended by 53 members and guests.
