Tom Barrett: “Potterville is a town of only about 3000 people.”

“I moved here just four days after I returned home from Iraq on a deployment. My wife and I bought our first home only about a mile from here. This Potterville is a town of only about 3000 people. So it's very exciting to have a president come to town like this. Really gives us the opportunity to show off the significance and importance of small towns throughout Michigan, but especially right here in Eaton county.” (00:27–00:30)
