I teared up reading this. We have a daughter who was just commissioned in the USAFR ; both of us are USAF veterans; I have a Navy Vietnam Veteran father and husband and I still have close ties to the military via our jobs. I watched a room full of senior US Army civilians mock Trump during a demo (briefing before) a couple years ago. I am sure that my face showed my fury - thankfully I was behind them!

I’ve watched the conservative-slant of those in the military and those in the industry disappear over the decades. Or at least go underground as many of us knew we couldn’t speak up any longer. Your story gives me so much hope for our future.
