Among the many things that Donald Trump is guilty of, add this: #StolenValor. By posting this phony picture to his Truth Social account, draft dodging Donald Trump pretended that he was in the United States #military and that he was awarded many combat ribbons.

As long as we have a military, we are grateful to those individuals of good character who choose to serve. Each United States service member has sworn an oath of allegiance to the U.S. Constitution.
Especially considering the current Commander in Chief and Secretary of Defense, we are grateful that all our immediate family members’ commitments of service have been completed.
The final military assignment of our most beloved living veteran—our son, who served in the U.S. Navy—was as part of the NATO Coalition providing the first Ukrainian defense. He followed a line of family members who also served honorably, including our beloved dad, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served in the Pacific during World War II.
A bugler played Retreat in the distance as we cut this eve’s salad. And we were reminded again that the freedoms we enjoy are not a given everywhere.

Roughly one in every thirteen US veterans depends on SNAP to help feed their families. In California, that number is nearly 1 in 10.
The food stamp pilot program was created by a veteran (JFK). The program was made permanent by a veteran (LBJ). The largest expansion of the program was headed by a veteran (Richard Nixon).
