Quote Detail

I served our country in its military for a total of 40 years 6 months and 7 days. At a time when we have fake news and people have accepted that lies are as valid as the truth all I can say is that my DD-214 shows that I served and retired from the United States Naval Reserve, before joining the United States Army in its Military Intelligence Corps, and served as such until retiring in 1987. I personally don__ know of anyone else that actually served in two branches of our military and retired from each, and although I frequently receive thanks for my service it is appreciated but not necessary. What is however necessary, is that we as citizens give a long hard look at where we are going as a nation. Yes, our infrastructure needs repair and our people need good jobs. We certainly want to feel secure but we definitely don__ need one man to fix our Constitution, which by the way is not broken! We do not need a crude iron fist to run our country! What we do need is a clear understanding of where we are going and what our country stands for_. __he pursuit of happiness_ for __e the People!_ Our government is based on a system of checks and balances, not the blind following of an autocrat. That__ been tried before and failed each time. Let__ not go down that __abbit hole!_ Stand up and protect our democracy and cherish our freedom! What we have is priceless! Don__ let anyone take that away from us_. __tand up for what is right!
