Dear friend,

I first learned about what it means to serve our country from
my dad. After immigrating to America as a young boy in the 1930s,
my dad joined the Navy and served in the Pacific where he
witnessed two of America's nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands.

Joe Biden also knows what it means to have someone close to
you serve in the military. When he was serving as Vice President,
his son Beau deployed to Iraq. Joe understood his son's call to
service and he knew the stakes for military families like his
when he was in the room helping make decisions on foreign policy
and matters of war.

Donald Trump has never afforded any respect to those who
sacrifice everything for a cause greater than themselves. That
has been made especially clear with Trump calling fallen Marines
"suckers," denigrating prisoners of war as "losers," and
disrespecting wounded and disabled veterans. His despicable
comments are exactly what we've now come to expect from this
self-serving, unfit president.

Throughout my time in the Senate, I have fought hard to make
sure we keep our promises to our veterans. I also work each day
on the Armed Services Committee to support our vital military
missions in New Mexico and provide all of the equipment and
resources members of our military serving around the globe need.
I can tell you that we are never going to be able do right by
these patriotic Americans as long as we have a commander in chief
who is so clearly not up to the task.

We must remember the sacrifices that brave Americans have
made and continue to make today so we can live in a country that
stands for democracy. Your vote is critical to keeping our
democracy alive.

Sincerely,

Martin HeinrichPAID FOR BY MARTIN HEINRICH FOR SENATE
