BILLINGS - Senator Barack Obama will make his fifth stop to Montana Wednesday. He'll be in Billings speaking to a group of about 150 people. The event is invitation only.

Officials with Obama's campaign said they invited various people with military ties throughout eastern Montana and especially in the Billings area. Steven Fugate, a veteran from Billings, found out Tuesday that he will be in the audience. He said he's eager to ask the senator how he plans to expand healthcare for veterans.

"We've had to go to Helena, to Fort Harris, before to have some tests done and that's a long way for us to go," he said. "I'm really interested in seeing what they plan on doing in Montana as far as expanding the VA healthcare system."

Fugate said he will vote for Barack Obama in November, but has a lot of respect for Senator John McCain's military service.
