To All My Fellow Veterans:
It was a pleasure to serve my country for 20 years. We all learned we were there to preserve and protect our Constitution and our country. However, our main goal was to preserve the peace…I pray we can start doing that sooner than later. This longest war ever and its twin sister (the twisted one) south of it has to be finished.
I am not an Isolationist, but I think its time we watched out for our country first, whether in jobs, eliminating poverty, bringing up our numbers in the world whether it be in education, health care, industrial production or elimination of factors that abuse our precious lands and waters! We talk about deficits, well, we all know the tremendous costs we have endured trying to defend our borders too many miles away too often and for too long a time. We must stop the killing of our young men an woman and bring that back to home where we supply them with jobs, educations and a high standard of living.
Let us go back to our original job as military personnel…keeping the peace!
