Last night while you slept, President Trump signed another executive order. This one not only banned transgender people from serving in the military, but characterizes us as less than honest, selfish, even mentally ill.
Sir, I served in the Air Force for 20 years, three months, and eight days. quite honorably.
I deployed five times.
I have three campaign credits.
Many of my friends sacrificed so much of their lives because we were told we were fighting for freedom: freedom from the communists, freedom from terrorists.
We never imagined the threat to freedom might come from within, and it has come from you.
But this is not your country, it is ours.
So let us all mobilize.
Let us all speak out.
Let us all act so that the freedoms my grandfather died for, my friends were injured for, are not in vain, but protected and cherished and honored.
We are all honorable.
