Study each presidential candidate's history from past years, not what they say today.

If you are going to vote, study carefully. I will not vote for anyone who does not love and honor America, respect our constitution, our flag or if they are anti-gun.

I thank God every day for our servicemen and women who keep us free so rabble rousers can spout their junk without fear of prosecution. I remember a country that was smaller and had less population than Iraq called Germany. It almost conquered the world.

I remember that some did not support us in Iraq because they were taking millions of dollars in kickbacks to keep the oil deal going. I remember that Iraq was fairly quiet until the protests started. This encouraged the militants because it gave the impression we were weak.

I am thankful for our president who stood firm.

I am a World War II Marine veteran and an Army veteran. I love my state and my country, and a president who is trying to do right.

We have more freedom than any other country in the world. Again, I am thankful for those who fight to preserve our freedom. If there is a country you like better, go live there.
