According to the National Guard Association of the United States website Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney is coming to Reno for their national conference next week.
The NGAUS website says Romney will address nearly 4,000 Guard officers and their guests at 11:15am on Tuesday, September 11th.
"We are delighted and honored that Governor Romney accepted our invitation to speak to our conference, especially on what is a sacred day in our nation's history," said retired Maj. Gen. Gus L. Hargett Jr., the NGAUS president.
"He should feel right at home with us. As a former commander in chief of the Massachusetts National Guard, he certainly knows the caliber of our people, their cost-effectiveness and the unique dual state/federal mission they perform every day.
"But Governor Romney's visit isn't just about celebrating the Guard's many contributions over the last 11 years," Hargett added. "It's also about the future, and we will be listening very closely to glean his vision for the U.S. military and how the Guard fits into those plans."
The Republican nominee has spoken at the NGAUS conference five consecutive election years.
This morning Republican Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan is speaking at Peterbilt Truck Parts and Equipment in Sparks and next week President Obama is making a stop in Las Vegas.
