I know that freedom does not run on autopilot. I answered my calling to go out and fight for it when I served in our military, and I will never stop fighting for it for the rest of my days. I'd appreciate if you'd take a minute to read this message.
John,
I will never forget the day, sixteen years ago, when I deployed to Iraq with U.S. Navy SEAL Team One. In the wake of our nation's freedom coming under fire, I put on the cloth of my country, I shipped out with a sense of confidence, conviction, and patriotic duty to our nation, and I experienced the honor of my life. To the other candidates in this race, this Veterans Day may be symbolic. To me, it's personal.
As the only veteran in this race, I have a different perspective. The gravity of the situation we're now facing is nothing short of dire.
Our nation’s once-proud fighting force has been infected and paralyzed by a political agenda, our military recruitment levels have reached an all-time low, and yet we are expected to salute our "Commander-in-Chief," Joe Biden.
Not only is this a slap in the face to the veterans across this country, but it is an insult to every soldier who has come before our time:
Those 56 men who pledged their lives in Independence Hall in 1776 so that they could create a new nation conceived in liberty.
Our nation's first Republican President who stood at a cemetery in Gettysburg and pledged this nation to a new birth of freedom.
That band of brothers who stormed the beaches of Normandy, defeated the Nazis, and saved this world.
As a veteran, as a former Congressman, as Governor, and as a father, I have remained steadfast in my devotion to reminding those who will listen of the words of Ronald Reagan:
Freedom is one generation away from extinction; it's not passed along in the bloodstream, and it must be protected and cultivated.
Today, I am humbly asking you for support to help me fire Joe Biden and restore this mission and this sanity, pride, integrity, and capability to the chief office of our military.
And John, I am also asking you for one more thing. Please, especially today, think back on the freedom you've had the privilege to enjoy in this nation, thank a veteran in your life, and choose to stand on the side of freedom today, and always.
Yours in Freedom,
Ron DeSantis

Ron DeSantis comes from blue-collar roots in the state of Florida. Nothing was handed to him, he worked his way through college and led his team as the Yale Baseball captain.
After earning his undergraduate degree, Ron DeSantis graduated from Harvard Law School, but was so moved by the events of September 11, 2001, that he volunteered to serve in the Navy to fight for our freedom.
When he returned, he started a life of public service by serving Florida as both Congressman and now Governor.
Despite all his years of fighting to ensure the American people enjoy the freedom we're promised in this country, he's watched the Left strip away freedoms at every turn and impose radical agendas on children, families, and consumers nationwide.
In 2009, Ron met the love of his life Casey in Florida, and he's now the proud father of 6, 5, and 3-year-old children. Because of his kids, Ron DeSantis knows that this fight is personal and understands the frustration parents face when teachers' unions and liberal groups shove a political agenda down the throats of children.
On Day One, Ron DeSantis has promised that he will bring a RECKONING for what unelected bureaucrats like Anthony Fauci and DC elites have done to children. Ron DeSantis will ignite our Great American Comeback by immediately getting to work stopping the invasion across our southern border, ensuring our military once again puts the mission first, declaring our economic independence, and restoring our American energy dominance so that our country gets back on track before it's too late.
In Florida, Ron DeSantis' record speaks for itself. He’s taken on the political establishment, politicized bureaucratic agencies, woke corporations, and the legacy media countless times and won every single time. Under his leadership, Florida has cultivated a thriving economy. It has stood as a citadel of freedom, and with him as our next President, America can once again be that shining City on a Hill for the rest of the world to look upon.
That's why he's running for President of the United States. Ron DeSantis knows that the decline of our country is a choice that cannot continue for another four years; the time to lead is now.... the time to act is now.
