Ross Perot is visiting the VA Hospital in Tampa today.
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY (Bay News 9) -- Former presidential candidate H. Ross Perot will make an appearance at the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital today to show his support to patients, families and medical staff.

The 78-year-old billionaire from Texas is best remembered for his presidential runs in 1992 and 1996.

In recent years, Perot has been largely silent on political issues, refusing to answer most questions about politics from the press. Whenever a paper has secured an interview with him he usually remains on the subject of his business career and refuses to answer the more specific questions on politics, candidates, or his past activities.

Perot said this is a great opportunity to spread holiday greetings and to recognize the wonderful advances being made in the treatment of traumatic brain injuries.
