Regardless of our political leanings or the feelings we may have this post election period, it's important to remember that our freedom of speech and our ability to exercise the franchise in a free and open democracy is due to the sacrifice of thousands of our military veterans.

 

To those who served, I want to say that your contribution to our county has made an deep and lasting impact on our lives.  Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

To my fellow Marine Corps vets I want to say Happy Birthday Marine! Semper Fi!
