I'm with you, Old Marine.

I'm 81, been retired from the Army for 31 years after almost 30 in uniform including tour in the bush in Vietnam.

I will vote in 2026 and every following year as long as I am breathing and the only way Guard, Active, Reserve, ICE, CBP, or anything else Trump throws at me will keep me from voting is if they physically beat the shit out of me. I will vote unless they kill me and that is not bravado or braggadocio . . . it's a promise.

I WILL VOTE AND I WILL NOT BE STOPPED.
