Republican Presidential Candidates Show Support for America's Veterans

Governor Ron DeSantis, who served in the U.S. Navy, concurrently accepting a reserve commission as a lieutenant in the Judge Advocate General's Corps of the U.S. Navy Reserve,  could be the first veteran to serve as President since George W. Bush if he wins the Republican presidential nomination, and if he goes on to defeat President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election.

DeSantis released a video with veterans voicing their support for DeSantis for President.

"We have fallen down so far and we need someone with strength, courage and ability and I believe Governor DeSantis is the man for the job," U.S. Army Veteran Ervin Jones.

"I think he has the courage and that is missing. We don't have that today in our leader," said U.S. Navy veteran John Bushwack.

"We need someone with the courage to do what is right even when it is not in their political interest," said U.S. Marine Corps Veteran Cole Lyle.

During his military career, DeSantis was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and the Iraq Campaign Medal.

Former President Trump posted a meme on social media  focusing on the sacrifices veterans and their families have made.

"Our veterans will never stop fighting for the America we cherish. The full measure of your service and your family's dedication in support of your service may not be fully understood and appreciated, but it will never be forgotten," stated President Trump.
