I would hope the nation I served in the Armed Forces was not for all for naught.

Your service was not for naught. Hold to that notion. Bitterly cling to it if necessary. Fight the temptation to toss in the towel and resigningly accept America's decline. Yes, our Republic is imperiled from within. Yes, the days seem dark. Especially with so many feckless fools about the land and in the halls of power.

The night is darkest just before the dawn. A cornball cliché, yes, but an encouraging one, no? Sure, Obama has not the honor to see how frightfully he dishonors both himself as the Commander in Chief and the military men and women he leads. But his deplorable lack of honor will only make greater the contrast when there finally arises a man or woman of honor to turn back the tide.

Thank you for your service. It was not in vain.

Thank you for your words..

I get stressed taking full time care of a spouse who served 33 years+ in two services, two tours in Viet Nam and now is 100% priority one disabled and who has Alzheimer’s Disease in the bargain...then add to this, the horror show going on in our nation now is awful, almost more that I can stand at times. Don’t worry, I won’t toss my medals over the WH fence..for that matter, during the Clinton Days I always said if I were unlucky enough to be in his presence and he dared to touch my uniform I would tell him to get his mitts off my hard won uniform..same would apply to this imposter in chief.
