Washington, D.C. – On Thursday, July 12, Operation Free, a coalition of veterans working to secure America through renewable energy, will host an educational panel on the military’s clean energy initiatives entitled, “Fueling Our Military in the 21st Century”. The event is being sponsored by Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA).
