On July 13, I was front row at Trump's rally in Butler, PA.
At that rally, we were only an inch away from losing President Trump to an assassin’s bullet—and that inch may be a metaphor for how close we are to an internal breakdown in the greatest country the world has ever known.
As a combat veteran, I learned that you can’t predict how someone will respond under fire until it happens. After President Trump was shot in Butler, he rose brilliantly to the occasion. In what will be an iconic image for the ages, he raised his fist in defiance, reassuring his countrymen, and showed true grace amid a lethal attack. He demonstrated the strength and resolve that the leader of the free world simply must have.
I was proud to stand with Trump then, and I am proud to stand with him in PA again today.
