This has been a hotly contested election for president. To show solidarity, when you go to vote, wear something that shows you were once in the military. If someone ask you who do you support, tell them you support the next President of the United States. No matter which candidate they name, say you'll support him if he is elected. If they ask you if you're wearing it to support the war or McCain, say you're wearing it to show support for the troops and for the right to vote. Show those in your voting district how many proud veterans are in their area. Be careful of what you say should a local television news crew singles you out for an interview. Don't say which candidate you voted for. Be polite and say "I'd rather not say". If you agree with the above, please feel free to pass it along in an email to everyone you know before election day.
David Bordelon, former MM2 US Navy
