Happy Fourth of July.

Being a Veteran means that you made a decision to put your country before yourself.

It means that you have sworn an oath of loyalty — not to a religion, or to a party, or to a person. You swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

But it’s more than that.

Being a Veteran has often meant that the promises your country made to you were not always upheld. It meant being lied into wars. It meant that you had to watch as politicians refused to care for your friends as they got sick when they came home from those wars. It meant that the ideals and values you swore to uphold were often cast aside by the people in charge.

VoteVets has worked for the past twenty years to rectify that. To hold leadership accountable. To take the fight to Republicans on the ground they thought was safest. To show them, and the country, that Republicans may be the party of war, but they are not the party of the Military, or of Veterans.

We have had setbacks and shortcomings along the way. We have seen hardship. But we have also made progress. We have won. We have defeated them — and we will again.

Thanks to your support, principled leaders are in positions of power when it matters most. And over the next year we are going to take the fight to the GOP and Trump like you’ve never seen.

So today, enjoy the holiday. We’re still proud of this country, even with everything Trump’s doing to it.

But tomorrow, steel yourselves for the fights ahead.

VoteVets will, as ever, be the tip of the spear. And we need you with us.

Thank you.
