[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#ffffff” thickness=”1″ up=”15″ down=”50″]

A robust and properly functioning democracy is vital to our national security. That proper functioning requires strong and healthy civil-military relations.

“The best weapons in defending democracy are educated voters and ballot boxes. It’s time to stop partisan political warfare and treat our fellow Americans with dignity and respect. Veterans are uniquely positioned to reunite America.”
