My husband served in the USAF. My father USMC, mother served USN, Korea. Father-in-law, Army-Air Corps, WWII. Various cousins and other relatives served in Vietnam.
I wasn’t happy with the choice of McCain as the nominee. I decided (long before I knew anything else about BO) that McCain would get my vote because of the troops.
