I want to say thanks to all my friends and family, past and present, who are veterans. America couldn’t be America without you.

This country is a little shaky at the moment, but because of your willingness to sacrifice, we all have the right to try to change things without fear of oppression. That right is a priceless gift that we owe in no small part to you, the men and women of the Armed Forces. God bless you all!
