President Obama will be traveling today from San Francisco, California to Reno, Nevada to “take part in an official event where he will deliver remarks at the 113^th National Convention of the VFW,” according to the White House.

But last year, in 2011, when President Obama and Vice President Biden were not running for reelection, the Obama administration sent only the deputy secretary for veteran affairs to speak with the veterans group. Neither Obama nor Biden attended the annual meeting.
