United States Marine Corps

I want to tell you what being a veteran means to me. From the yellow footprints at recruit training to the desert of Iraq, I hope this message finds you well. ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ [Make America Great Again. ]( Friend, I want to take a moment to tell you about my path to becoming a United States Marine, and what being a veteran means to me. I grew up in the small town of Middletown, Ohio. Middletown was once an industrial powerhouse, but thanks to the unfair trade deals signed by our “leaders” in DC, the people of Middletown were left behind. Like most of the enlisted Marines I served with, I joined the military to serve my country. It was also a way for a kid from a poor family to achieve the American Dream. When I got off the bus and stepped on the yellow footprints at Marine Corps Recruit Training, I honestly didn’t know what I was getting into. But when my Drill Instructor handed me my Eagle, Globe, and Anchor and I earned the title of United States Marine, it was one of the proudest moments of my life. [MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.]( Compared to others I served with, I think my time in the Corps was rather unremarkable. I deployed to Iraq, did my duty, and I’m proud of my service. But I was lucky. There were some scary moments, but it wasn’t like you’d see in the movies. My time in the Corps was nothing compared to the sacrifices made by generations of Marines that came before me - and a lot in my own generation. We ask so much of our men and women deployed around the globe. And they do it with honor and humility. That’s what keeps me going every single day. Our veterans and servicemen, young and old, need to know we have their backs. President Trump was the best Commander-in-Chief of my lifetime, and if we’re going to get him back in the White House, it will all come down to your support. [Kamala Harris is raising millions, so today, I’m humbly asking you to chip in just $5 to get President Trump back in the White House.>]( [DONATE TODAY]( My time as a Marine taught me that every man has to do his part.
